Since you have multiple sites served with a single apache (configured as 
reverse proxy) you need a virtual host configuration for each virtual 
domain in httpd.conf.

eg. www1.opencms.demo on 222.222.222.222
    www2.opencms.demo on 222.222.222.222
    www3.demo.net     on 222.222.222.222

You have to define the proxy rules for each virtual domain. Tomcat allows 
you to configure its external proxy name for each connector. So define 
multiple connectors with different external proxy names in server.xml.

eg. www1.opencms.demo
    www2.opencms.demo 
    www3.demo.net

ok?
