Http tunnelling not working with virtual host

Question

Hi,
We have recently migrated our application from OC4J server to the Weblogic 11g server. There is one EJB client module which connects using t3 protocol. We are trying to use Http Tunneling for it. The server setup consists of two machines (machine1.global.com and machine2.global.com) in clustered mode. A virtual host cbs.global.com is configured to load balance across the above 2 two machine. Also Apache HTTP Server plugin is used for handling the web tier.
For enabling tunneling, we have checked the 'Enable HTTP Tunneling' check box in the server. Also in the Httpd.conf file, we have added a block for
<Location /HTTPClnt>
SetHandler weblogic-handler
</Location>
If we give the initial context url as http://machine1.global.com:7005 or http://machine2.global.com, then it is working fine. But when we give the virtual host names - http://cbs.global.com or http://cbs.global.com:7005, it is not working. This application needs to be accessed outside the company network, so we cannot directly give the machine names and have to make it work using virtual host.
Please advise whether any other settings need to be done for enabling the tunnelling for virtual hosts.
Highly appreciate your help in this regard.
Best Regards,
Jaison

Thanks Peter for the reply.
We are having multiple managed servers configured to multiple ports - 7003, 7005, 7007, etc. Please find below the mod_wl_ohs.conf file
# NOTE : This is a template to configure mod_weblogic.
LoadModule weblogic_module "${ORACLE_HOME}/ohs/modules/mod_wl_ohs.so"
# This empty block is needed to save mod_wl related configuration from EM to this file when changes are made at the Base Virtual Host Level
