Follow example network topology :
wbsvr-1,wbsvr-2,etc —–main-server(public)——–client-browser
wbsvr-1 is a local webserver 1, example http://192.168.1.1/tukang-nggame/
wbsvr-2 is a local webserver 2, example http://192.168.1.2/tukangnggame/ main-server(public) is main web server, exh http://www.example.com
client-browser is a browser how we browse our homepage (exp Mozilla Firefof, Opera, IE, Safari or the other )
In main-server use Apache web server and Isntall mod proxy-html. This command at console :
#apt-get install libapache2-mod-proxy-html
Enable that module (make link module) with command at console :
#ln -s /etc/apache2/mods-available/proxy_http.conf /etc/apache2/mods-enabled/proxy_html.conf
#ln -s /etc/apache2/mods-available/proxy_http.load /etc/apache2/mods-enabled/proxy_html.load
Edit configuration /etc/apache2/apache2.conf (main server)
<Location /tukang-nggame/ >
Order Deny,Allow
Allow from All
ProxyPass http://192.168.1.1/tukang-nggame/
ProxyPassReverse http://192.168.1.1/tukang-nggame/
< /Location >
<Location /tukangnggame/ >
Order Deny,Allow
Allow from All
ProxyPass http://192.168.1.2/tukangnggame/
ProxyPassReverse http://192.168.1.2/tukangnggame/
< /Location >
Restart apache server in main server with command at console.
#/etc/init.d/apache2 restart
Then browse from client-browser
http://192.168.1.1/tukang-nggame/ with url http://www.example.com/tukang-nggame/
http://192.168.1.1/tukangnggame/ with url http://www.example.com/tukangnggame/
Don’t forget last url with slash (/).

That’s usually called a “Reverse proxy”.

When you say:
#ln -s /etc/apache2/mods-available/proxy_http.conf /etc/apache2/mods-enabled/proxy_html.conf
#ln -s /etc/apache2/mods-available/proxy_http.load /etc/apache2/mods-enabled/proxy_html.load
You could just use this little command: a2enmod proxy_http
Use the debian way… It’ll simplify your work
