Figured it out - here's the solution I used:
1. Just above the JkMount line in httpd.conf, add the following lines to
turn on logging and setup a map of applications. Don't forget to replace X
with the current version number (i.e. 2.2.4).
RewriteLogLevel 3
RewriteLog c:/Tools/apache-X/logs/rewrite.log
RewriteMap apps rnd:c:/Tools/apache-X/conf/applications.txt
2. Create a conf/applications.txt file and add the following line to it:
sites app|app1|app2
3. Add a RewriteRule in <Directory "/opt/local/apache2/htdocs"> to use the
map:
# http://domain --> http://domain/app|app1|app2 (random application in
Tomcat)
RewriteRule ^(.*) /${apps:sites}/$1 [L]
4. Restart Apache, delete all cookies and open http://localhost. Refresh
your browser a number of times and watch yourself get routed to the
different applications randomly.
Thanks for all the help on this thread.
