Getting Mod_Proxy to bounce to Tomcat (FINALLY)

This particular problem has been plaguing me for months.  How to make HTTPD proxy to a Tomcat instance.  Finally got it figured out.  BONUS:  Also configured it to authenticate via MySQL before proxying the connection.  This is using a self-signed SSL cert.

NameVirtualHost zookeeper.mydomain.com:443
< VirtualHost zookeeper.mydomain.com:443 >
