We use mod_proxy with no problem. Here's our setup: <VirtualHost 128.220.205.53:443>
ServerName jscholarship.library.jhu.edu ServerAlias jhir.library.jhu.edu ir01.mse.jhu.edu jscholarship.jhu.edu ServerAdmin [EMAIL PROTECTED] SSLEngine On SSLCertificateFile conf.d/jscholarship.cert # DSPACE-177 - Redirect users that use http(s)://jscholarship.jhu.edu # to https://jscholarship.library.jhu.edu RewriteEngine On RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} jscholarship.jhu.edu RewriteRule /(.*) https://jscholarship.library.jhu.edu/$1 [R] ## Proxy Config ## http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.2/mod/mod_proxy.html ProxyRequests Off ProxyPreserveHost On # Note that this is not SSL ProxyPass / http://ir01.mse.jhu.edu:8080/ ProxyPassReverse / http://ir01.mse.jhu.edu:8080/ </VirtualHost> We deploy Manakin as a ROOT.war under tomcat, so we don't have to use mod_rewrite to proxy. However, if you do need to use mod_rewrite, it's very easy - just use the [P] flag on your rewrite rules. I stopped using mod_jk a while ago (before Apache 2) because there was some uncertantity about which mod_jk version to use. I've continued to use mod_proxy and haven't looked back. If you want load balancing between apache and tomcat instances, you'll need to use mod_jk or use mod_proxy with Apache 2.2 (which has the BalancerMember directive).
