Apache Httpd backed by both Tomcat and PHP

Question

After a bit of googling it turned out that this topic is not well described hence asking about it here.

What I have already: well setup & working system where:

1. Apache Tomcat with main web-application is running on port 8080 and handling all requests like mycompany.com:8080/*
2. Apache HTTPD 2.4.7 running on port 80 with PHP module and handling requests to WordPress-based blog at mycompany.com/blog

What I successfully achieved:

3. Adding mod_jk connector and having Apache HTTPD routing all requests to Tomcat via 8009 port so that Tomcat is handling all requests like mycompany.com/*

What I would like to achieve:

4. Apache HTTPD is intercepting all requests at port 80 and if url is /blog* then PHP5 module is intercepting it, otherwise everything else is handled by mod_jk connector i.e.

   /blog* -> PHP5 Apache module -> WordPress blog

   /* -> mod_jk -> Tomcat with web-application

Could you please advise if it's possible with minimum configuration of existing modules (without using modules like mod_rewrite or any other)?

Could you please elaborate regarding possible security holes of PHP module with such configuration since I'm not experienced with it?

Thanks a lot in advance for any help!
