Assuming you cannot simply assign additional external IP addresses and
NAT each web server from it's own public address (in which case iptables
will do the job just fine), what you need is some way to route requests
intended for different web servers to different internal servers based
on the HTTP header.
Iptables is not really the tool for that job.
You could do this by using iptables to NAT all requests to a single
internal machine running Squid as a reverse proxy, either configured by
hand or perhaps using the SquidGuard redirector. That machine would then
examine all request headers and redirect the request to different
internal machines based on a criteria such as hostname in the URL.
