I did create a virtualhost block on Apache but it wasn't being picked
up. I just needed to do some homework on my Apache skills I guess:

NameVirtualHost 123.123.123.123
<VirtualHost my.public.com>
   ServerName my.public.com
   DocumentRoot /var/www
</VirtualHost>

didn't work because my.public.com is not "A fully qualified domain name
for the IP address of the virtual host" [quote from Apache doc], instead
my.public.com is a fully qualified domain for a different IP (Box B in
my original Diagram.

The following works and is picked up:

NameVirtualHost 123.123.123.123
<VirtualHost 123.123.123.123>
   ServerName my.public.com
   DocumentRoot /var/www
</VirtualHost>

Cool, I'll keep that in mind.

Once again Henrik, thanks for all.
Cheers, Eb.
