This could be accomplish via moving Catalina's server port on nagoya
to 8000 (or something) and using mod_proxy to forward requests from
the port 80 httpd to Catalina.  Or, we could use mod_webapp or mod_jk
to take a portion of nagoya's httpd URL space.  Etc. -- options
abound.

I'd like to see a cleaner URL space for infrastructure services like
this so that we can swap out implementations at will.

For instance, http://mail.apache.org/listname/msg would get you to a
certain message no matter what implementation was used or which server
was hosting the service.

I know that mod_rewrite can get hairy, but I think this is a solid
long-term approach which trades a little httpd.conf complexity for a
great deal of flexibility.

Just thinking out loud.
