OK, that isn't going to work.  If Tomcat only knows "localhost", calling it
with 192.4.200.65 won't get anything.

Also, in Apache's httpd.conf, an IP address isn't going to trigger any of
the VirtualHost containers, which means there won't be any JkMounts
triggered if your JkMounts are in mod_jk.conf, since everything in
mod_jk.conf triggers off of ApacheConfig which triggers off the Host
containers in server.xml (all of which say "localhost").

Here's what I do:

- setup a default install...everything localhost, just like my HOWTO
(http://www.johnturner.com/howto)

- on my local desktop at home, set a record in my hosts file pointing to my
server.  I give that hosts record a name.  So my hosts file on my desktop
says something like:

192.168.1.x    johns-server

- in Tomcat's server.xml, I change all instances of "localhost" except for
"defaultHost" to whatever I put in my hosts file

- on my desktop, I call my server with a URL, in this case:
http://johns-server/some/URL

It works for me.  On a live server (one that is publicly available), instead
of using the value in the hosts file, just use the FQDN.
