If you expect the server to be busy you will probably want to set up a
lightweight front end apache without mod_perl and let it proxy the
mod_perl jobs to another server. In this scheme it works well to
put apache jserve in the front end because it also uses a proxy-like
mechanism to hand off to the servlet engine (with load balancing
if you want to spread the servlets over multiple machines). The
only problem I've seen have been memory leaks in the servlets
causing the jvm to grow, but apache will restart it for you if you
have to kill it once in a while.
