How to set up Apache as Reverse Proxy

    I am currently running Apache 2.4 on Windows Server 2008 R2. I have no previous Apache experience but I am trying to configure the following scenario:

    My Apache server sits in the DMZ and is set up currently over port 80 with its IP as the server name and I have 3 internal application servers it will talk to all over TCP port 8080. We'll call these app1, app2 and app3. When someone connects to my Apache web server, by default I want that request to be forwarded to app1 which will load up the app1 portal over tcp port 8080. When someone connects to the Apache web server with /app2 or /app3 at the end of the url then I want those requests to be forwarded to either app2 or app3 then, all over port TCP 8080.

    How can I accomplish this?
