I can confirm that. You can have Apache Tomcat + Apache HTTPD as a frontend (HTTPD as a reverse proxy, can talk to Tomcat via HTTP or, better yet, AJP). In this configuration, if Tomcat is down, you'll get the 503 from HTTPD. If you restart Tomcat, the connection will be restored a few seconds after and HTTPD will resume serving pages without errors. Nether I have ever seen a 503 from Tomcat itself.
