Thanks for your thoughts, both below and earlier. I am especially
partial to your encapsulation argument, that is, insulating the
JVM/JServ from the Apache and load balancing the whole shooting match.
The logic works for me and the thought of DoS bringing down EVERYTHING
is an issue. Unfortunately, I work with a network admin who doesn't
think I need to worry about security because he will have a firewall and
a switch. Boggles my mind.
Anyway, thanks again. If you do get around to those tests, please let me
know the results. If yo ucould clue me in on the Hardware, I would
appreciate it.
