Both of them need to know the relatiionship between names and IP 
addresses. This can be done via DNS or via /etc/hosts entries.

Then the apache servers need to know what servernames that they
are serving. This is typically in /etc/apache2/sites-enabled/*
or similar, with stanzas like this:

<VirtualHost _default_:443>
                ServerAdmin webmaster at localhost
                DocumentRoot /var/www/html
</VirtualHost>

_default_ should only occur zero or more times; otherwise, it
gets replaced by a full domain name.
