If you just want to publish short, user-friendly URIs and have LTM rewrite them to the full URI, you could use a datagroup which maps each short URI to the long one. For 9.x, you'd define the source and target on a single line using a space as a separator in a string datagroup. You could then use findclass to search for the requested URI and rewrite it to the corresponding long URI. For 10.x, you could use the new name/value pairs in a string datagroup and the class command to look up the value. Here are the wiki pages for these commands:
