We are getting ready to deploy a number of applications to Tomcat - I'm
pretty familiar with Tomcat and Java, but have a couple of questions:

1.  Does it support multiple processors?  We have a Tomcat instance in
production on a NT box with 4 processors, but Tomcat only seems to use one.
Does the 1.4.2 JVM support MP?

2.  We have IIS on the front end, and we are currently not able to migrate
to Apache.  We'd like to use the connectors (jk or jk2) to do load-balancing
and failover.  Do these connectors provide the support we need?  Should be
use a clustering architecture like JavaSpaces
(http://www.onjava.com/lpt/a/2422) instead?

3.  We plan on deploying 42+ applications to a number of Tomcat servers.
Since each application will support 1 customer - I think it's a good idea to
have 1 app -> 1 tomcat - so if Tomcat crashes, it only affects that customer
- rather than all customers.  I've heard of setting up a CATALINA_BASE to
share Tomcat's core files, and then setup webapps directories for each
customer.  Does this sound reasonable?  Have have others done something like
this?

Thanks,

Matt
