yea this is sorta how i thought things worked. i dont need a load balancer... i just want stuff on port 80 to be hosted by an apache server, and stuff on 8080 to be handled by the app server.
this works, but i wasnt sure how to get it to behave without having to specify the port number on the url. not that its a big deal. i just know at work if we have the domain name with a valid context root of an app, the port isnt needed. i was trying to mimic this behaviour with my app server at home. obviously if i leave off the context root, i would expect things to get serverd by the apache web server.
