2 ways :
- create a second instance of httpd that will be bound to your internal ip
only, so external users will see only the "external" server while internal
will see the internal server with its internal address and the external
with its external address. very secure.

- create IP-based virtual hosts as explained here
http://httpd.apache.org/docs/bind.html and here
http://httpd.apache.org/docs/vhosts/ip-based.html
