Reading the docs on the Rails asset pipeline, it seems the suggested way to do something 
like that ( their example is with sass, not less, but it should be the same sort of thing )
is to use .erb templating and that the pipeline will successively process extensions: 
   icons.less.erb  ==>  icons.less ==> icons.css 


I tried adding the fronted_prefix in icons.less.erb, but my build failed. 


Thinking I may have had a syntax error, I tried just renaming “icons.less" to “icons.less.erb",
but the build still fails with a not very informative stack track:
( I’ve also tried renaming to “icons.css.less.erb” with result the same. )

For this deployment, I will probably go back to just editing the hardwired urls in those stylesheets.
Another possible option may be to just serve up the static files directly from apache —
not using the proxy to rails app. The question there is whether I can get the public and frontend 
assets to merge together nicely.
