Changing Forms 11.1.2 context root

Question

Hello,
We are currently planning a deployment that will end up with 6 physical servers running Forms 11.1.2 on them. We would like to make access to these servers available through a single url (ie www.something.com). We have tested and plan to use the nginx reverse proxy to serve up the 6 forms servers (we found it has much better performance than webcache). Now the problem we are facing is that each forms app is deployed under the /forms/ context root. This of course won't work for us since we need to differentiate each of the 6 servers. Our idea is to move the context root for each forms server to a something like /forms1/, /forms2/, etc.
Basically each server will be under a different path on the same hostname
http://www.something.com/forms1/frmservlet <- server 1
http://www.something.com/forms2/frmservlet <- server 2
http://www.something.com/forms3/frmservlet <- server 3
http://www.something.com/forms4/frmservlet <- server 4
http://www.something.com/forms5/frmservlet <- server 5
http://www.something.com/forms6/frmservlet <- server 6
So the question is what would be the simplest and most ideal way to change the context root of the forms application?
Thanks in advance

Well I work for a NASA contractor and with the downsizing of the space program I have to work with the hardware I have not what I'd like to have. I re-installed 11.1.2 just to make sure I hadn't done something wrong and I still don't have access to the Fusion Middleware Control (http://host:7001/em) I get a Error 404 so it may be the Windows XP issue that was mentioned. The strange thing is that I had installed 11.1.1.4 on a Windows XP PC about 6 months ago and it worked fine but due to the forementioned downsizing that PC was excessed so I had to start over and thought I'd use the current version.
