I guess this can't be done with mod_proxy but you could configure your 
routing table like this:

ip route add E dev eth0 src C
ip route add F dev eth0 src D

At least this is how it works on Linux provided that eth0 holds C and D. 
   Note that this applies to *all* connections to E and F, not only 
those originating from Apache.

Hope this helps.
