Transparent proxy for only one virtual host.

Here's my current setup. I have a windows webserver, hosting a website on one domain name. I'm setting up a linux webserver to host more websites. Now since both of these servers are behind a nat, I'm running into the issue where I could have either server live, but not both, unless I deviate from port 80.

Both servers are running apache2.

I've been reading a bit of sites and it seems it is possible to have mod rewrite cause apache to act as a transparent proxy. I've tried this below, but it didn't work.

What I'm attempting here is have the new server only handle the new website, and forward everything else as is to the old server. Currently what I get is just a directory listing when I try this on the redirect.

Thanks in advance.

Why don't you put everithing on one server - since both are apache?

 

I'd like to eventually, but thats not really an option at the moment. The existing website was programmed without case sensitivity in the paths, so almost every page broke when I tried moving it to linux. If it isn't possible to get apache to work as a transparent proxy, I guess redoing the website would be my only option. I just don't have enough time to go through all of that now.
