Link cloaking / hiding?

Since I use quite some affiliate links, I am wondering whether it is possible to cloak these. As in, I want the link to go to http://www.site.com/link/432, which redirects to the appropriate site. Is there a plug-in for this?

You can use some simple mod_rewrite rules for this purpose, of course depending on the extent of your definition of “cloaking”.

If you want those rules be set from Textpattern that you can control them via backend, then you could use gbp_permanent_links But also using modrewrite via httaccess is simple and good way, if your familiar with it :)
