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.
