This is possible, this is what is called a "reverse proxy" and it allows one server to appear in the webspace of another. In your case you could add the following to the webserver config of devel.debian.tamay-dogan.net ProxyPass /pootle/ http://localhost:8080/ ProxyPassReverse /pootle/ http://localhost:8080/ The ProxyPassRevers statement is only needed if pootle generates redirects. If pootle also generates pages with absolute links you might have to mangle the html it produces, using mod_proxy_html, but this is fairly advanced.
