No it's not, HTTP points to a ip adres, the ip adres can have virtual 
hosts, it cannot send the request to pc1.my.domain.com if that matches 
or to pc2.my.domain.com

This can be done if you use a Reversed Proxy or an Gateway which can 
make the decision to send it to host x when the HTTP/1.1 request is 
Host: host x
