This is exactly what ProxyPass{Reverse} is designed for; to present
multiple URI's (on the same or different physical servers) as one single
site to clients.
<VirtualHost 0.0.0.0:80>
ServeName "www.example.com"
DocumentRoot "/var/www/html"
ProxyPass /order/ http://backend-order-server/order/
ProxyPassReverse /order/ http://backend-order-server/order/
etc...
</VirtualHost>
