If I understand you correctly, sub1.mydomain.com and sub2.mydomain.com
both point to the same public address even though you want them to map
to different internal servers.  Publicly, they are only distinguished by
url and not IP.  Is that correct?

If so, iptables will resolve the names to IP addresses when it loads. 
>From then on, it will use the IP address to identify the destination and
not the url.  If you want to NAT on the url, you will need some
functionality to read the url from the data portion of the packet and
not the IP portion.  I do not know if there is a iptables patch
available to do that or how such a patch would be used.  Does anyone
else know?
