That's not going to work. The connection has to be established (which
means the packets have to be port forwarded/routed) before the HTTP
request can be made. The router can't really determine what domain was
requested.
You have a couple of options:
Run the servers on different ports. This way, you can forward
<router>:<80> to <machineA>:<80> and <router>:<81> to <machineB>:<80>.
It isn't pretty, but it works.
Install and configure both domains on both of the webservers. Configure
the router to do load balancing. This way, requests will be split
between the servers.
Run the machines on real IP addresses, and firewall off incoming
requests to ports other than 80. :)

BTW: I almost feel silly answering this, since I experienced such a
similar confusion only a day ago.
