This is orignally how I had it set up, but the problem was that by using
"JkMount /* /whatever", which as you said, directs _all_ requests to
Tomcat, it directs EVERY request to that domain to the servlet. So, if
for example, I put "http://www.blah.com/test/whatever.html"; in, that
still matches "http://www.blah.com/*"; (the /* being the JkMount part),
so it goes to the servlet as well. This is undesireable (probably in
most cases), becuase then if the browser requests say a stylesheet, or a
static HTML file or whatever, it's all going to get mapped to the
servlet.
