I was FINALLY able to make this work using the single isapi.dll tomcat_connector, and two separate Tomcat instances on the same host.
I swapped the server.xml I was using with a default one, and I followed the information in the LinuxJournal url below, and only changed what was mentioned (essentially only ports 8005 8080 8009) and that was all I needed to do to get the 2nd instance up on the same host. I was trying to do to much, and be to granule on my configs causing things to not work. Thanks to all who were patient enough to help out.
