If you need it on the same IP address and port, you can set up a reverse
proxy using mod_proxy.  I've only ever used it with Apache 2 but I think it
works the same on 1.3, if that's what you're using.  You basically specify
that requests for a particular path will be served by another server.  This
can be combined with virtual hosts if you want.  See the ProxyPass and
ProxyPassReverse directives.
