FWIW, going by my understanding of the JkMount directive, I don't think that should work. Actually, I think it will work for servlets in the ROOT (i.e. default) context, but not for any of the other contexts under Tomcat. I sent out a long note or two earlier explaining my understanding of JkMount and "servlet/" in the URL. But basically, the above directive tells Apache to forward all URLs begining with "/servlet/" (after the host:post part, that is) to Tomcat. When Tomcat sees such a URL, it's going to look for a servlet in the ROOT context. BTW, the whole mechanism of "/servlet/" in a URL causing a servlet to be called is controlled by some settings in Tomcat's master web.xml file (at least for Tomcat 4.0). Look for the definition of "invoker" and a related servlet-mapping. It's something that can easily be disabled if you don't want to use this mechanism, and instead only call servlets that have been defined.
