Is there a package for Dachstein CD that can proxy incoming web addresses
btw different web servers?

incoming web requests get redirected to a specific web server based on the
domain name rather than having all the domains on one server using host
headers or virtual domains?

i.e.  domain1.com / domain2.com / domain3.com --->  web server 1
      domain4.com / domain5.com / domain6.com --->  web server 2


I got one ip for my DMZ and have a couple servers in it but I want to use
more than 1 server for serving WWW.
You're headed in the right direction looking for squid. I think there are LRP packages for squid, but I probably wouldn't install it on the firewall box anyway.

Instead, I'd run squid or some other proxy on a box inside the firewall, and simply port-forward all inbound web requests to that box.

Note that if one of your web-servers is apache, you might even be able to configure it to proxy requests and fetch the data from your other server using mod_proxy, but I haven't tried this exact setup personally, and there's nothing wrong with having squid and apache on the same box (listening to different ports, of course).
