Reverse proxy is the way to do it. Looking at one of my cPanel servers, it
looks like that might be set up by default (or at least an option to turn
it on). I have this config:
([P] in the RewriteRule means reverse proxy)
# CPANEL/WHM/WEBMAIL/WEBDISK PROXY SUBDOMAINS
<VirtualHost 192.0.2.2:443 127.0.0.1:443>
