You do not have to do this in Apache. The thing you need is a change in
the DNS. The DNS is a system that convert names (Like
powerschool.amelia.k12.va.us) in ip addresses.
To change the DNS you need to contact the person / company that controls
the DNS of your domain.
The windows server needs to listen to the domain
powerschool.amelia.k12.va.us though.
