[users@httpd] Reverse proxy domain A to domain B

Is it possible to setup a reverse proxy which accepts connections for
external facing domain A and then passes them to internal only domain B?
Would that work?

For example:

<VirtualHost *:80>
  ServerName www.example.com
  ProxyPass / http://internal.example.int:3000/
  ProxyPassReverse / http://internal.example.int:3000/
</VirtualHost>

This would proxy internal.example.int, as www.example.com

Paul,

Yes that would work fine, so long as your reverse proxy can resolve all 
the internal names.

The internal domain, does not need to, and probably should not, be 
resolvable externally.
