The private servers would have the instances of the WebObjects applications on them.  All the requests from the web would come to the public IP server which would more or less work as a proxy and would vend the instances of the applications on the private IP servers.  Is such a thing possible?  If so can anyone direct me to a resource on how to set it up.

You are making it too complicated.  That is how WO is normally run. The public facing server runs Apache with the mod_webobjects module.  It accepts traffic only on 80 and 443 (for SSL) on that IP.   The other servers run the WO apps.  mod_webobjects is the proxy.
