You would need something to filter the traffic to the right pi. A router will generally own forward packets based on port so you will need some for of proxy type thing I think.

This should help you get started.

Sounds like some filthy techy video to me

Can't you host both sites off the same pi?

pfsense would do this, for example

Was just thinking that.... how would I do it? It's just running a basic Apache server on there currently

AFAIK you need to set up a virtual host on Apache for each site.

This may(or may not) help - http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.2/vhosts/examples.html

Setting up vhosts is far easier than setting up and maintaining two servers for two sites.

Just edit your httpd.config file and restart httpd. Done.

Only reason to run two servers is if you needed two environments.
