Hmmm... I thought I had explained my situation clearly.

I'm not looking for a load balancer; if I were, I would have just searched
Freshmeat, found one, and used it.

I need an HTTP switch (hence the subject line) that will rip open incoming
packets and proxy them over to the correct web server based on the
HTTP/1.1 header.  These web servers, being masqueraded behind this
firewall, have no other way to talk to the outside world.

I don't have all kinds of extra cash lying around to invest in running
another server behind my firewall to do the switching.  My firewall will
be behind my school's firewall anyway, so ultra-security really isn't an
issue.  I've searched freshmeat to no avail.  More ideas?
