An easier way of doing something like this ( well, easier to maintain
anyway ) would be to setup ip/port forwarding on the gateway machine.
Then setup 3 different ports that people can use.

eg. to login to machine-1 you could use http://publicIP:8081/ for
machine-2 you can have http://publicIP:8082/ and finally you can have
http://publicIP:8083/ for machine-3.

Then just setup inward port forwarding. What firewall are you using ? If
you let us know, I am sure someone should be able to guide you on how to
setup something like this.

You might want to keep in mind, that in such a case the OWA interface is
going to be exposed on-line to anyone who wants to look at it.

Lastly, (phew!) another options : setup Squid to do reverse proxy for
you. You can build in some Authentication at the gateway then. Plus (
arguably ) squid has a smaller footprint than Apache.
