Thanks Joshua. My apache setup talks to tomcat using mod_ajp. One last question on the behavior of Apache. Say, there is a page that is in the cache which has expired. A client makes a request for that page. Apache looks in the cache, finds that the content has expired so contacts tomcat to fetch a fresh page. Lets say that the fetch takes 10 secs. In those 10 secs, if there are additional requests for that same page would apache send all those requests to tomcat increasing the load on tomcat ?
Thanks again for the help.

Sure, you can set ThreadsPerChild equal to MaxClients (and
MaxSpareThreads equal to ThreadsPerChild and MinSpareThreads equal to
0). This is how apache on windows works. But it does not allow any
adjustment to load, nor does it allow the server to recover very
gracefully to faults in modules.

mod_disk_cache is better tested, and probably more performant. So I'd
just go with that unless you have a very specific reason not to.
