UPDATE: It appears that patch 5 did fix the problem. We tried so many configurations and modules to get it work that there must have been some conflicts in the config files that was preventing it from working after we first updated to patch 5. Once we went back to a simple ProxyPass and ProxyPassRevers it all started working.
ProxyPass /arsys/ http://<servername>:8080/arsys/ ProxyPassReverse http://<servername>:8080/arsys /arsys Since this is now working, are there benefits to using one of the modules previously mentioned? It seems like keeping it simple like this may have an advantage (less configuration, less modules to worry about keeping updated and vulnerabilities, etc).
