We've been doing this for years, without any issues. (Make sure your apache config virtualhost contains an entry for the vip's dns name.)

<VirtualHost *:80>
    ServerName vip.domainname.com
    DocumentRoot /opt/rt/rt/share/html
    AddDefaultCharset UTF-8

    PerlModule Apache::DBI
    PerlRequire /opt/rt/rt/bin/webmux.pl

    <Location /rtprod>
        SetHandler perl-script
        PerlHandler RT::Mason
    </Location>
    Alias /rtprod "/opt/rt/rt/share/html"
    ScriptAlias /rtprod/cgi-bin/ "/opt/rt/httpd/cgi-bin/"
</VirtualHost>
