You can only do this for http, where the host name is passed in a header 
from the client.  Apache can do it if you create named virtual hosts 
that use the ProxyPass directive or a RewriteRule with the [P] flag to 
proxy the requests to a backend server.  You'll also need a 
ProxyPassReverse directive configured to fix redirects issued by the end 
server.
