[UW-GIS-L] help!

We are supposed to demo our ArcIMS installation from a remote
location on Monday.

I did a vanilla install on a machine inside our
firewall. Both the App Server and the Web server
are on this "engine" machine, running Apache/Tomcat.

I've not opened any holes in the firewall (yet).
[I know that 5300 probably needs opening, but I only
open holes once I know for sure it is needed]

Things work great from within our LAN but my
problems begin when I try to Proxy serve the
ArcIMS stuff to the outside world.

Our DMZ web server machine, running Apache/Tomcat, has /website and
/output proxied over to the engine machine, and it seems to work, but
I can't get the ServletConnector stuff to proxy. (Symptom, "Loading 
map..." then nothing.)

DMZ's httpd.conf:
>     # ArcIMS site redirection  to usra2  --Russ
>     # next 3 sets are for websites
>     ProxyPass        /website http://usra2.iris.washington.edu/website
>     ProxyPassReverse /website http://usra2.iris.washington.edu/website
>     ProxyPass         /output http://usra2.iris.washington.edu/output
>     ProxyPassReverse  /output http://usra2.iris.washington.edu/output
>
>     #  this:
>     #ProxyPass        /servlet http://usra2.iris.washington.edu:8009
>     #ProxyPassReverse /servlet http://usra2.iris.washington.edu:8009
>
>     #  to accomplish this:
>     #  <Location "/servlet">
>         #  JkUriSet worker ajp13:usra2:8009
>     #  </Location>

Neither of the two commented out attempts above seem to work.

I'm starting to suspect that I have to install something onto the
DMZ web server, like j2k maybe?

Can I maybe talk to somebody on the phone who has done a similar
install of ArcIMS ?? It would help tremendously.

Again, I have

engine machine:              firewall                    DMZ public web 
server machine:
all aims server,                                         uses ProxyPass 
to redirect to engine machine
LAN web server

This document is great and describes my situation well, but it wants 
ServletExec to
be the web app server, and I already chose Tomcat as the server.... Is 
it easy to switch?
Would that be the best long term solution?

Thanks for any pointers / ideas,
