Gotcha. mod_rewrite might be able to help a lot, here, but probably not
with merging of responses, whatever that means. Do you have some
requests that need to be split across the two services and then
re-combined before returning a response? That sounds like a mess.

I was thinking that using Tomcat would be a waste of time if an HTTP
proxy would meet your needs. Maybe they won't.
