Possible to make Apache hide a redirection like proxying does?

You can use a reverse proxy apache directive.

The end user connects to your apache server (A), your apache server
contacts the remote site (B), the remote site returns the requested data
(C), then your apache server hands that data back to the end user (D).
The end user never knows about the remote site, nor does the remote
site know about the end user.

                |      |--A-->| Your   |--B-->|        |
                | end  |      | Apache |      | remote |
                | user |      | Server |      | site   |
                |      |<--D--|        |<--C--|        |
                +------+      +--------+      +--------+
