How can I set up a proxy redirect in IIS?

We host a website for a client which makes use of a proxy redirect. Whenever requests are sent to the virtual directory /quiz, the resulting page comes from a server on a different IP address. We would like to mirror this behaviour on our development server. Can this be configured in IIS and/or what software do we need?

Unfortunately, doing it this way changes the url in the browser to point to the redirected page. I want the URL to remain the same but the http response comes from a completely different url. For example, if I enter this url: "http://127.0.0.1/quiz/default.aspx", the page displayed would come from the following url: "http://192.168.1.65/default.aspx" but the url in my browser would still say "http://127.0.0.1/quiz/default.aspx".
I notice that the existing website uses an Apache server. Does Apache include a proxy redirect? Is it possible to buy a plug in for IIS to do the same thing?
Does the network have an ISA server?
No.
It might not be a proxy but a simple 'share located...'.
I don't think it is a "share located". The website referenced by this virtual directory is located on a completely separate server in a different location to the main website.
It looks like they are doing the following in Apache:

ProxyPass /quiz http://217.194.218.53/

Is this possible with IIS? If not, is there a plug-in we can buy to cause IIS to behave the same way?
