I assume these lines say "JkMount" before the paths...?

Are you using "name based virtual hosting" -- meaning that the hostname
chooses the VirtualHost? Or, do you have multiple IP addresses pointing
to the same server, and you are using IP address to choose the virtual host.
If you are using "name based virtual hosting", then the ServerName head
is /required/ to make it work: you cannot get it to work using just the
IP address.
If you are /not/ using NameVirtualHost, then you should be able to get
your VirtualHost working by binding it to a specific IP address:
<VirtualHost 1.2.3.4:80>
DocumentRoot /opt/projects/www/com/townsfolkdesigns/web
ServerName www.townsfolkdesigns.com
JkMount /*.jsp ajp13
JkMount /*.do ajp13
</VirtualHost>
Someone should verify this; I'm not an Apache expert, but this seems
like the right solution.

Generally, this is done with separate VirtualHost entries in httpd.conf,
with a separate set of JkMount directives in each one: the configuration
is handled entirely in Apache, so you don't have to do anything weird in
your Tomcat configuration (as long as your <Engine>'s "defaultHost" is
set to the same value as your simple <Host> entry).
You do not need to use mod_rewrite to do this.
If you are going to be running separate applications for each
VirtualHost, I recommend running them in different instances of Tomcat.
This will allow you to administer them separately. Also, if you have to
take one of them offline (or one of them dies unexpectedly), the others
are not interrupted.
