I don't think a simple rewrite rule is going to work. His web server
is listening on both interfaces, but he wants requests to the external
interface to always go to "example.com/orders" when the request is
actually for "example.com/".

One way to do this would to use virtual hosts. Have "example.com" on
port 80 and "example.com/orders" on port 81. That would let you use a
firewall rule to route external traffic to the correct application
(port 81) without having to specify a different port. Only trouble is
your internal users would have to specify port 81 if they wanted to
hit the "/orders" page.
