Assuming you cannot simply assign additional external IP addresses and NAT each web server from it's own public address (in which case iptables will do the job just fine), what you need is some way to route requests intended for different web servers to different internal servers based on the HTTP header. Iptables is not really the tool for that job. You could do this by using iptables to NAT all requests to a single internal machine running Squid as a reverse proxy, either configured by hand or perhaps using the SquidGuard redirector. That machine would then examine all request headers and redirect the request to different internal machines based on a criteria such as hostname in the URL.
