Is there a reason why are you trying to run two web servers on the same port and don't just use different ports? Or forward different ports on the router to port 80 on the PC's as mentioned above?
Microsoft ISA can do what you want but my suggestion would be that if you don't understand what you are doing now then it's not a product for you.
Virtual Hosts in apache are exactly what you are after (I think!)
If they MUST run on seperate machines then you can do the following
Foward port 80 to Box 1 On box one have two virtual hosts, 1 serving content, the other doing using the ProxyPass directive to get content from the other Apache instance (by using the internal IP)
In fact I don't really need two separate servers, and I had one machine with virtual host (still trying to figure out how to use it beyond the simplest case). But since I already got two servers with synchronized version on both, I think it would be nice to have them both available online.
So I think simply forward one port from single public IP to two separate machines doesn't work, is it? If I want be able to SSH to two of my machines, I need either forward two ports from outside for each machine or some other workarounds such as SSH through one of them first?
You can't port forward the same port to two different machines inside your network.
You can port forward two different ports to port 80 inside your network. Likewise if you want to be able to SSH into two different machines you'd set up two different port forwards on your router, maybe with port 22 and 222 for example. These can forward to port 22 on the internal machine.

Otherwise yeah just get rid of one box. Better yet. Make a NAS or something! :D
One of these are already a file server thing, another is for development and once tested, I just push the changes to the main server. thus I got one experimental version and one tested version.
