We have a number of sites that have blogs, like

domainA.com/blog
domainB.com/blog

and we host the blogs on wordpress multi user:

our-separate-wordpress-site.com/domaina_blog
our-separate-wordpress-site.com/domainb_blog

for SEO reasons we really, really want domainA.com/blog to be the blog url, not the other path.

But we don't see any examples where this is done, because we need not to just rewrite the traffic, but cookies as well... is this possible with a webserver or a reverse proxy?
