Apache VirtualHosts won't help you there unless the customer's web site is
hosted on the same machine. ipf probably won't do the job either seeing it
does things at a lower level than what you want.
Possibly look into using Apache with mod_proxy (and maybe mod_rewrite)
installed. You can then point the customers site(s) at the single external
IP, and use Apache to proxy the requests to the internal server based on
the requested site.
