Yup this is possible ....
and if you are using the loadbalancing module ( so you can have more
than 1
tomcat for your apache(s) to talk to) essential
in workers.properties you should find something like ...
worker.ajp12.port=8007
worker.ajp12.host=localhost
worker.ajp12.type=ajp12
worker.ajp12.lbfactor=1
To define another service try ...
worker.external_1.port=8007
worker.external_1.host=192.168.34.43
worker.external_1.type=ajp12
worker.external_1.lbfactor=1
You can define as many of these as you want.
You can then define a loadbalancer ( if you want to)
worker.loadbalancer.type=lb
worker.loadbalancer.balanced_workers=ajp12, external_1, external_2 etc
then
worker.list=loadbalancer
and you have got load balancing
If you just want to use a single tomcat host then
worker.list=external_1
in your mod_jk.conf
JkMount /test/* loadbalancer
or
JkMount /test/* external_1
Hope this helps

PS If you are going to do loadbalancing I suggest you use ajp12
it takes less time to recover if than ajp13
