It is my (and others) experience that mod_jk has to be loaded BEFORE
mod_rewrite for it to act responsibly. In your case the mod_rewrite is
linked statically, i.e., loaded before mod_jk. I would suggest to
make both mod_jk and mod_rewrite DSO, and load/add module mod_jk before
mod_rewrite. Remember to comment out the
# LoadModule jk_module libexec/mod_jk.so
in mod_jk.conf
