If I insert 'defaultsite', I think so for HTTP/1.0 clients :

host header (http://pages.example.com) is present in the request, but I
think the http packet contains "GET command" with the complete URL (e.g.
http://pages.example.com/mkLista.do?code=A) so they will be able to ask
correct url.
Why do you say "... instead of tomcat front page" ?
"Tomcat front" page appears only you request http://pages.example.com.
