I think I understand what you're saying but I think you're misunderstanding
the problem.  The problem is that he wants to mount TWO apps under different
directories:

/prefix1/
/prefix2/

But each of these apps are requesting images like /images/image1.png, and
the images overlap.  He wants requests coming from /prefix1/ to service
/prefix1/images/image1.png and requests from /prefix2/ to service
/prefix2/images/image1.png even though there's no way to tell the server
which "prefix" he's under given a request for /images/image1.png.
