I'm not shure about this - let me figure this out the next days. Are you 
interested in a way to run two instances on the same port?
I think I've seen such a configuration allready ...

thank you very much for the elaborated answer - there are some good points to 
think about.

On question left for me (I think, you asked it allready) - why using apache in 
front of tomcat at all - if its so complicated to configure?

Do you have an answer to that question?

For me the answer is - security, loadbalancing and client certificate handling 
- at least in general and for larger applications.

In my scenario described the only good argument would be security - have you 
ever done/seen an pentest to tomcat without fronting apache?
Do you have a good starting point to read about this topic?


Kind regards,
Michael
