Yes.  Embed following into a file, have cursor above any blocks you want 
changed, and source this:

let uat= search('^\s*#\s*Catalog.*uat0[123]$','W')
if uat
 if getline(uat+1) =~ '<LocationMatch\>'
  let hasprepend = search('^\s*PathPrepend /inquiryservices','Wn')
  let lmend      = search('^\s*</LocationMatch\>','W')
  if lmend && hasprepend
   exe uat+1 "," lmend-1 "s/Cluster 172.21.1.1:9999/Cluster 
172.21.1.2:7000/e"
  endif
 endif
endif

That's a one shot change.  You could wrap this into a function or map 
and call it as often as wished.

I suggest asking vim questions on the vim mailing list, BTW.  See  
http://vim.sourceforge.net/community.php .  You might get a better 
answer than mine there, too.
