First of all this is just a casual home office/small biz configuration (low bandwidth, few users) - really!
Configuration (2 virtual PCs):
Apache server at 192.168.1.65 (me)
ISS 2008 server at 192.168.1.55 (my son)
How can I route HTML requests to server1.domain.com to the Apache server and requests to server2.domain.com to the ISS 2008 server by either configuring one of the servers to forward to the other server or via the router. I have no problems configuring either but not both together.

Redirect permanent / http://192.168.2.5

That almost works but http://192.168.1.55/ is used as the path and as the domain name displayed in the browser which won't work outside our network.
hi tpgriffin,
the recommendation by zhuba is almost there, except the Redirect part. And yes, you are right with the fact that the Redirect would cause the URL location to change to http://192.168... where things started to fall apart .
You would need to use mod_proxy (http://httpd.apache.org/d

The caveat with this solution is -- all access would be hitting your Apache

# to Reverse Proxy your son's IIS.
ProxyPass / http://192.168.2.5/
ProxyPassReverse / http://192.168.2.5/
</VirtualHost>
Hope this would help.
The "securing" code could be in both - would not hurt.
What is the apache version that you are running.
mine is;
Server Version: Apache/2.2.8 (Win32) mod_ssl/2.2.8 OpenSSL/0.9.8g DAV/2
edit the apache config file C:\Program Files\Apache Software Foundation\Apache2.2\conf\
LoadModule proxy_module modules/mod_proxy.so
#LoadModule proxy_ajp_module modules/mod_proxy_ajp.so
#LoadModule proxy_balancer_module modules/mod_proxy_balancer
#LoadModule proxy_connect_module modules/mod_proxy_connect.
#LoadModule proxy_ftp_module modules/mod_proxy_ftp.so
LoadModule proxy_http_module modules/mod_proxy_http.so
and restart the service.

Get one server to do a redirect. I'm not sure how this works in IIS but i do know that Apache has support for virtual hosts and setting up redirects are fairly simple (just make sure you set up a virtual host for your own server first or else everything gets redirected by default)
