Yep.. Mod_rewrite can be used for this. Didn't think of that since I was thinking "Proxy" only. That being said, using mod_rewrite I can rewrite on-the-fly to the Nat'ed address. But what if the add has a DNS entry? Say www.example2.com and www.example1.com both has the same external IP (say 10.1.1.1) but www.example2.com is actually a NAT'ed server inside the firewall and behind apache?
