Apache can either redirect or proxy to individual ports - proxying will do
this perfectly although sometimes you have to do a few funny things with the
hosts file to allow name based virtual hosting with redirecting to work
within the one box - but it works and it works well (except that log files
get a bit messed around).
A firewall will also do the job fine but, perhaps, its a bit of an overkill.

Check out the apache faq or the httpd.conf.default - it goes through the
Listen and NameVirtualHost directives.

when a request goes to "10.0.0.1" it goes to port 8080
