Setting up virtual server where Apache has url directed to IIS?

We have a client website where they are forwarding traffic from their Apache server to our IIS server and we need to mask our url so it looks like it is the client's site.

Currently the client has traffic directed via a frame which keeps the client's Apache-based url in the address box, but right clicking and looking at the properties of course shows visitors that it is actually our website on the IIS box.

Our server is at another location and we are trying to figure out what may be able to be accomplished through our remote access to that server without involving the other location. But if it all needs to be accomplished in Apache, then we can just call our client and explain to them what they need to do.

(Thanks for any help you can give!)
 
Configure the Apache server as a proxy/reverse proxy server for the target url base address to your machine. That should be all you need to do; we've been doing this for years to host individual applications on their own servers. The configuration of the Apache server should look something like:
Code:
ProxyPass         /foo/  [URL unfurl="true"]http://iis.server/bar/[/URL]
ProxyPassReverse  /foo/  [URL unfurl="true"]http://iis.server/bar/[/URL]
 
Since we don't have experience with Apache and our client is not very knowledgeable about this type of redirect, I apologize for asking for specifics, but this is what we need (with slightly different addressing)...

We need to have a secure site hosted on Apache at

redirected to an IIS server at

with the displayed url remaining

How can we set that up? And how do we prevent the security warning from displaying that states the secure certificate name does not match? (Both sites do have a secure certificate.)

Our client did make a change on their server to redirect to our IP address, but that only takes them to our primary page and we need them to go deeper....and we get the security warning, too.

Thank you, Thank you, Thank you, for any help you can give to us!
