If you forward a port (ie. 7654), using iptables or
ipchains or redir or another application for it, to the
machine behind the firewall and then do a:

Machine towards the internet: 313.164.249.280
Machine behind: 192.168.0.4

<VirtualHost 213.64.149.180>
ServerName my.other.machine.behind.the.firewall
RedirectMatch ^/(.*)$ http://my.other.machine.behind.the.firewall:7654
</VirtualHost>

Then if someone tries to access http://my.other.machine.behind.the.firewall
they get redirected to http://my.other.machine.behind.the.firewall:7654
and since port 7654 is forwarded to 192.168.0.4 you reach
that machine.

Do I make any sence or should I try to be clearer?
