redirect

I'm a total novice at mod rewrite so I'll try and present my question as clearly as possible:

I'm trying to create a url redirect of the following (static) affiliate url that can append it self to any product links after using a query string:

affiliate url: hxxp://clk.affilite.com/fs-bin/click?id=aFb*BBBBBpQ&subid=&offerid=9999.2&type=5&tmpid=9999&RD_PARM1=

product url: hxxp:// example.domain.com

What I want to achieve is redirecting the affiliate code as below and being able to add dynamic product urls after as the following examples show:

rewritten affiliate url: hxxp://domain.com/go

affiliate url + product url: hxxp://domain.com/go?=http://example.domain.com

redirects to: hxxp://clk.affilite.com/fs-bin/click?id=aFb*BBBBBpQ&subid=&offerid=9999.2&type=5&tmpid=9999&RD_PARM1=http://example.domain.com

Is it possible to replace some forward slashes (/) of a URL to dots (.) in a RewriteRule? It doesn't have to be done exclusively with a RewriteRule, but definitely not with a script.
