You need to use apache's rewrite rule.

Following is an example of what I do, where I have a number of waterfall
pages displaying different categories. Note this is from a server
running 0.7.5 that I haven't upgraded yet, so you may need to tweak it
for newer versions, I haven't checked.

# These take the particular categories and point to the correct port,
# since I'm outputting different waterfalls for each group
RewriteRule ^/buildbot/all/(.*) http://localhost:8010/$1 [P]
RewriteRule ^/buildbot/trunk/(.*) http://localhost:8011/$1 [P]
RewriteRule ^/buildbot/v1.0/(.*) http://localhost:8012/$1 [P]
RewriteRule ^/buildbot/v2.0/(.*) http://localhost:8013/$1 [P]

# I think this one is also required to make sure the address send back
# use the correct url path, it's been a while since I did this though.
RewriteRule ^/buildbot/([^/]+)$ http://<server url>/buildbot/$1/ [R]
