It seems to me what you really want to do with magnoliaPublic is redeploy it as the ROOT context. Then proxying will work between www.mysite.com and www.mysite.com:8080. You can usually do this by renaming the .war file ROOT.war and deploying it. Also be sure to remove the original ROOT context provided with Tomcat and make adjustments to the subscriber section of your authoring instance.
