We're *huge* tomcat fans. No we have not had a requirement to front Tomcat with an Apache server yet. Actually from a huge amount of research we don't believe that the Apache HTTPD would help much. The Apache Software Foundation (ASF) did a great benchmark comparing Tomcat 5.5.x with Apache HTTPD serving static content and the delta is damned small. Tomcat performs really well.
