Yes, AFAIK.

As I understand it, the JK/JK2 connectors are pipelines, not pre-or post- 
processors.  They send the request from Apache to Tomcat.  When Tomcat 
receives the request, it is as if Apache doesn't even exist.  Tomcat acts 
the same way it would act if using Tomcat stand-alone.  I could be wrong, 
but I've never been able to successfully setup a virtual hosting 
configuration without defining my virtual hosts in both Apache's httpd.conf 
and Tomcat's server.xml.  If there's a shortcut, I'd love to see it.
