Apache has a similar example, though the context under which you want it to operate is somewhat more elaborate.
Squid to function as a guard against exposing a web server behind it ..
It deals with
Proxypass
Reverseproxypass
The two deal with converting the references ......

OK, are you saying squid is a better option? i have have a test position that requires that 2 different URLs be redirected to two separate back end servers. Squid over Apache?
What are your needs?
Squid can furnish.
On the squid side, it receives the request, based in the requesting URL it can forward the request.
Apache can use http://www.yourdomain.com/subsite1
Http://www.yourdomain.com/subsite2 if configured will query the specified web servers and then reprocess the response to maintain referencing.
The link I posted and the one Prabhin provided can be used as a guide.
Squid separates the web server//s behind it from Apache can be combined to do several things.
Serve up the site, pull certain sata from a tomcat server using workers, proxy other site section, data from another web server/s transparent to the users accessing the site.
No URL changes.

Based on what you stated, if I understand it, Squid seems to be more straight forward. It just has to process 2 URLs and direct them to the proper backend server
