There is one way...

It can only work if the "internal" server has a hostname that can be
hijacked by the reverse proxy server.

i.e. if you are wanting to do:

client --- Internet ---> https://www.mycompany.com/

..then you can do:

client --- Internet ---> https://www.mycompany.com/ --- Internal ---
http://www.mycompany.com/


e.g. on the Internet www.mycompany.com is 1.2.3.4, whereas internally
www.mycompany.com is 10.1.2.3

Then you can set up your Apache reverse proxy so that it proxies "/" - i.e.
run www.mycompany.com as a full VirtualHost.

Done it - it works :-)
