You can already do that without a reverse proxy.
A reverse proxy allows you to have multiple services running on 0.0.0.0:XXXA
For example you might have two websites at a server on 192.168.0.123
Your server will be setup to show those websites at two different ports, say "192.168.0.123:123" and "192.168.0.123:321" - with foo.com on 123 and example.net at 321
Your reverse proxy will listen to requests on port 80 (where websites are usually served) and look at each request. If it's a request for the website at foo.com, it'll send it to port 123. If it's a request for example.net it will send it to port 321
But the client who is requesting the sites will only see port 80, at the same IP address for both sites.
