The proxy documentation is here:
http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.0/mod/mod_proxy.html
But you basically just need something like this as a vhost.
<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerName only_one_name_can_go_here
ServerAlias this_can_be_a_list
ProxyPass / http://backend.example.com/
ProxyPassReverse / http://backend.example.com/
### other options can go here...
</VirtualHost>
