Just recently, I did something similar with two machines hosting a few
domains and subdomains. I found the easiest thing to do was to set up
squid in 'web accelerator' mode (also known as anti-slashdot mode) on my
FreeBSD router, and direct it to forward requests (based on Host header)
to the appropriate backend webserver. In your case, one server could be
running on an alternate port on the same machine Squid is, or bound to a
private IP alias.

This is a touch annoying, though, as squid must know about /every/
/single/ subdomain that is hosted, lest it complain that it cannot
fulfill the request.
