By the time Apache gets it, the DNS decision has already been made:
    <IfModule mod_proxy.c>
        # Zope-related statements
        ProxyPass / http://192.168.1.1:8080/mn/
        ProxyPassReverse / http://192.168.1.1:8080/mn/
        ProxyPass /misc_ http://192.168.1.1:8080/misc_
        ProxyPass /p_ http://192.168.1.1:8080/p_
    </IfModule>

However, I could add a RedirectMatch manage [F] to MachineB and put up
with the occasional weird error, I guess.

Actually, how about a ProxyPass manage http://MachineA.domain.tld/ on
MachineB? This is probably worth a try. Passes apachectl configtest.
Appears to be working.

Cool.
