This is not terribly difficult and there are solutions that do it, however it would be out of the scope that we normally help with. An alternative that you may find acceptable, would be to use a separate port for nagios apache (ie 81, 8000, 8080), and allow the firewall to forward that directly to the nagios machine. This would void any need for the messy web url proxy.
Awesome thank you for your help and advice, now that I have a better idea of what is needed I shall update you when its finished.

Great. I would suggest port forwarding something like 8080 from your external firewall to the internal nagios server as well. Make sure you have at least basic auth setup on the nagios server before you open it up to the world. Best of luck.
