Ok - I've been digging and found some old (TC 3.3) stuff.  If it is 
indicative of the correct procedure, it would seem I can just have ONE 
Tomcat and ONE connector and then simply "mount everything up" and "go". 
 Is this correct?  Will this cause http to redirect to https and 
vice-versa?  I'm going to try it, for sure!  Someone, please tell me if 
there is more to it than this!

Thanks,

Eddie
