Explain in detail how you would configure Apache in Debian to proxy
Anyone can help with this? Explain in detail how you would configure Apache in Debian to proxy requests for a website “www.test.com” from standard port “80” to an internal web server located at “192.168.1.3” who’s web server is running on port “8080”. How would you then add proxying to a second website “www.test2.com” to “192.168.1.4” utilizing standard port “80” for both the proxy and the internal web server

What you want is called a reverse proxy. There is an Apache tutorial exactly for this.
