Reverse proxy to direct different name to different ports

We have 2 DNS names (call them D1 and D2) pointing to the same IP address (call it A). At A there are 2 webservers on different ports (say 8081 and 8082). I need to configure that the 2 names point to the 2 webservers eg D1 points A:8081 and D2 pints to A:8082. I think this is simple but have not been able to work out how to configure Apache or Nginx as reverse-proxy to do this. (This is just so users don't have to type a port number.)

You have two DNS names, so that will be implemented in Nginx as two server blocks with different server_name statements. See this document for details.

For example:

server {
    server_name d1.example.com;
    location / {
        proxy_pass http://127.0.0.1:8081;
    }
}
server {
    server_name d2.example.com;
    location / {
        proxy_pass http://127.0.0.1:8082;
    }
}
