Hey Max,
We've (almost) got the same setup: Multiple Apache boxes (LVSed) and multiple Tomcat boxes in a load balanced setup (via mod_jk)....
All of out Tomcat boxes are identical, so we set the 'home' type attributes of the worker.properties file to where they are on the _Tomcat_ machines.
Our Apache boxes just have Apache on them (no jdk etc)
It seems to be working fine.. Hope that helped.
