So that would be Named based Vhosts? I'm just a bit confused on how we
can direct it to the internal Box. (FWIW, it may be serving from
Mac/Win)

assuming apache: 

<VirtualHost vhost.home.net>
ServerName vhost.home.net
ServerAlias www.vhost.home.net
DocumentRoot /var/www/vhost.home.net/htdocs
TransferLog /tmp/vhost-access.log

<Directory "/var/www/vhost.home.net/htdocs">
         Options -Indexes -FollowSymLinks MultiViews
         AllowOverride All
         Order allow,deny
         Allow from all
</Directory>

how do I specify the internal example2.com (say ip 192.168.1.1)
Where does the proxy directive go to?

Thanks for the help in explaining.
