Install your demo system from Apache source in /usr/local/apache, and make
sure it uses a different port, log & pid files, etc.

Impossible. IPTables works at too low of a level to see the hostname in
the request sent to the server. What you need is a reverse proxy. I know
Squid can be used for this, but I've never done it, so I can't give you
any advice on how to go about it.
