it does. this is great. yes, we have rather singular minded devs tho. I
will show this and the other response to them. thank u. we are balancing
two web servers. appreciate the help. I have just read through a good
portion of the o'reilly tomcat book and completely agree that there is no
reason to involve apache.

Yes unless you need hybrid features from apache you usually do not
need apache in front of tomcat. Also I once benchmarked mod_jk and as
you can suspect there is overhead. I do not have the numbers any more,
but it makes sense that you have apache overhead, mod_jk overhead, and
then finally tomcat overhead. It is fairly significant.
