Ok so if you are using Two Tomcat nodes and you want to redirect to each of the Nodes in question through an Apache rewrite rule and give the transparency of the same URL. I am not sure you can do this

1. Are you doing this to load balance between the Two Tomcat instances.
2. You aren't bothered about loadbalancing between the Two Tomcat Nodes.

Either way I can only see that by using a different URL is your binding.
To give true transparency of URL(sameness), wouldn't it just be better to Loadbalance?

I would start by downloading the latest version of Apache 2.2.8. You may need to download Sun Studio 11 but hold fire on this. Lemme spark up the Solaris box, to remember the steps. The proxy through mod_jk is highly recommended on the sites I have researched I downloaded this version 1.2.26.

There was an issue with the Global Zone and the local zone using header files so Sun Studio 11 could be required, again it may not, Sun Studio 12 is beautiful it picks out weaknesses in the code itself. GNU Make should do the trick, so once everything is in place. Then comes the build, which I wrapped around the installation i.e path variables.

We could opt for the quicker option, if it works that is. Meaning I give you the mod_jk module ready compiled and you include it in your modules/libexec subdirectory.

all I want is to redirect from apache to tomcat. That
I was able to do using rewrite rule
however, I want the redirection to be transparent (no
changes in url) so i thought of using P flag.

if ur method can do this please share how to do it.
thanks

I found a few bugs in
2.2.8's configure scripts, what I am using now but I
got it to work, if you
are up for it I could help out!

I never used the P proxy flag in httpd.conf, I used
jk_mod.1.2.6 (but this
is jk_mod.1.2.7 really) then to get apache to
communicate with the tomcat
nodes I set up a worker file included it in
httpd.conf, that with the jk_mod
included in httpd's module section and I was
accessing Tomcat through two
worker ports set up in apache. Is this what you are
trying to do?
