For example: <VirtualHost cloudservice.example.com:80> ServerName cloudservice.example.com ProxyPass / http://192.168.1.10/ ProxyPassReverse / http://192.168.1.10/ </VirtualHost> <VirtualHost mailservice.example.com:80> ServerName mailservice.example.com ProxyPass / http://192.168.1.11/ ProxyPassReverse / http://192.168.1.11/ </VirtualHost> Note that I did not test these configs, this is just a sample. You will probably want some kind of security (SSL, maybe using SNI if you do not have clients using IE or Chrome on Windows XP.) http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.0/mod/mod_proxy.html#proxypassreverse
