A guess

 Your apache server is not releasing connections.  If you are running 
linux, type  "netstat -vat" into a terminal on your apache machine, 
before and after you hit your server.  See if the connections are being 
released.

You could also try typing "ps -e | grep "httpd"" to see how many apache 
processes are being run before/after.  Look in the apache error log, 
etc.  You might find a clue like "MaxClients reached"

Question
Are you able to log into all your tomcats(through port 8080) independent 
of apache and get served requests?  Can you log onto apache and get a 
statically served page?
