Well, the other thing you can do is set up a NameVirtualHost and then use
Apache to proxy to the internal machine using the ProxyPass and
ProxyPassReverse directives. Of course this involves some load on the the
machine doing the proxying, but it's usually not too bad.

Subject: Re: pf or apache redirect?
Sounds like he wants to re-direct to an alternate host with a non public ip
address, Apache can't do this. However with the "NameVirtualHost" directive
(http://www.apache.org/docs-2.0/mod/core.html#namevirtualhost) he could have
multiple domains resolve to the one ip and host them all from the same
machine.
