Ideally, you would have Apache and Tomcat setup so that both have the exact same number of potential connections to each other. Also, what is the KeepAliveTimeout setting? From what I can see it must be high. Consider dropping it down to like 2 or 3 (max) or even disabling depending on how much it really buys you, performance-wise. --------------------------------------------------------------------- The official User-To-User support forum of the Apache HTTP Server Project.
