There are several ways to achieve this! You can define other hostnames in
/etc/hosts and these names can you use in your Apache proxy configuration.
The clue is not to use names, that your company DNS resolves, just names
your Apache Server knows.

Yes! Take a look at /etc/nsswitch.conf and read the documentation about it.

You can also use tools like dnsmasq. Read about it, too
