Carl,

You need a single VirtualHost for what you're trying to do. You have to 
decide which directories go to the proxy'd (IIS) server and list them 
there, and then let the local (MS4W) server handle the rest.

For instance, if what you want is:

   http://111.111.111.111/SomeTown    -> IIS
   http://111.111.111.111/AnotherTown -> IIS
   http://111.111.111.111/ (anything else)  -> MS4W

Then a config as follows should do the trick:


NameVirtualHost 111.111.111.111:80

# Apache Site
<VirtualHost 111.111.111.111:80>
DocumentRoot "/ms4w/Apache/htdocs"
ServerName 111.111.111.111

# Forward some directories to the IIS server on port 8080
# Anything not explicitly proxy'd here is expected to be local by default.
ProxyPass        /SomeTown  http://111.111.111.111:8080/SomeTown
ProxyPassReverse /SomeTown  http://111.111.111.111:8080/SomeTown

ProxyPass        /AnotherTown  http://111.111.111.111:8080/AnotherTown
ProxyPassReverse /AnotherTown  http://111.111.111.111:8080/AnotherTown

</VirtualHost>


I hope that helps

Daniel
