We have lots of not webapp related static stuff so we have set the
DocumenRoot of apache
at our static 'source' tree (not tomcat related source tree).
For the few bits of static content in our webapps (few logos) we do not
really care (yet).
They are served by Tomcat.
This has all historic reasons. This is an old system migrating slowly :)
So we do not even have a Tomcat installed on our webservers - so no webapps
directories.

We make heavy use of the apps-myall.xml files in TC 3.3.1 - but as I said,
no Tomcat on our webservers.
We have 2 hardware loadbalanced small pizzaboxes running Apache and three
bigger Solaris machines
running our Tomcats and the database.

Have not yet figured out how to combine our static DocumentRoot plus serving
static
contents from our webapps.

exactly this is our setup. So we will use a workers2.properties.
Thanks for clarifying.
