You have multiple instances of Tomcat? You never mentioned that
before. So, you will have multiple, virtual-hosted instances of
Tomcat? No problem.

I'm not sure I understand what you are proposing.

I have no concerns about using httpd to proxy to multiple instances of
Tomcat, whether they are configured for multiple virtual hosts or not.
You just need to keep everything straight in your mind when
configuring it all.

httpd VH 1 -> Tomcat VH 1
httpd VH 2 -> Tomcat VH 2
httpd VH 3 -> Tomcat VH 3

The locations of Tomcat VH 1, 2, and 3 are irrelevant: they can be
contained in any of your instances of Tomcat. You just need to make
sure that the connections for VH x are pointing to the correct
host:port that will get you the correct Tomcat VH instance.
