Assuming that you are using the AJP13Interceptor, then updating the mod_jk 
version should be enough.  The problem is that mod_jk 1.2.6 doesn't respect 
the UseCanonicalName directive and sends the actual port that Apache is 
listening on.

If you are using the CoyoteConnector (which was released as an addon to 
3.3.1a), then I think that the proxyPort directive will work.  This 
connector also ships with 3.3.2, which is a fairly painless upgrade (as 
opposed to 5.5.x or 6.0.x).

Yes, the AJP/1.2 connector was deprecated even for 3.3.1a  (except as a way 
to shut Tomcat down :).    To get this to work, you'll have to be using the 
AJP/1.3 protocol.
