1. Moving the JkMount directive inside a <VirtualHost...> will make it accesible from only that virtual host. So, you must repeat common ones, such as /jkmanager. I put the mappings (JkMount(s)) right in the virtual host definition(s) with no trouble at all.
2. The virtual host is determined by the http host header, not by the connector host name. This is true for both httpd and tomcat (and any other web server.) You can always install Apache httpd + Tomcat on a second machine (or on the same machine on a separate set of ports), if you are reluctant to try it on you production host.

Specifically, there was some conversation here about it best that if tomcat was running on the same box as the web server (which it is in my case) that it would be best to make the connection between apache2 and tomcat be via localhost. That being the case, how can I map the SAME servlet name but from a different virtual host (albeit ip based) on apache to DIFFERENT hosts on the same tomcat engine. -- Alan Chandler http://www.chandlerfamily.org.uk Open Source.
