Wido, If we were to recommend proxying with httpd, shouldn't cloudstack provide that as well out of the box? Btw, there isn't really a big performance gain by proxying through httpd nowadays, the new version of the packaging also includes using tomcat8, which has an improved http/nio connector, have a look here for some performance benchmarks :) -> http://www.tomcatexpert.com/blog/2010/03/24/myth-or-truth-one-should-always-use-apache-httpd-front-apache-tomcat-improve-perform
What i think is that if we are going to suggest configuring httpd on the same box we should do it automatically, if not, tomcat can still run on port 80 by default and user can reverse proxy from any other machine :) Also, if we're sticking to tomcat, we should have scripts build the APR/native connector for improved performance :) http://tomcat.apache.org/native-doc/ This would be an improvement independent from using or not httpd/nginx in front of tomcat.
