Our Tomcat 5.0.19 runs out of memory when load testing through an 
Apache 1.3.26 proxy, but does not when the the same load test accesses
Tomcat's HTTP port directly. We initially saw the problem with mod_jk, 
but once we saw that Tomcat didn't run out of memory with direct HTTP 
access , we went for the proxy approach, since both direct and proxied 
accesses connect to Tomcat via HTTP. We configured Apache forward and 
reverse proxies according to 
http://jakarta.apache.org/tomcat/tomcat-5.0-doc/proxy-howto.html

We've seen the same problem with Tomcat 5.0.24, but have not tested it
as extensively. Has anyone else seen Tomcat run out of memory when 
accessed through an Apache proxy, but not when it's accessed directly?
If so, what did you do to remedy it?  I welcome any reasonable
suggestions. We want to keep Apache as our HTTP front end for now.

Also, I ran direct and proxied tests with profiling (-Xrunhprof) on Tomcat,
but don't see anything obvious from the metrics.  I'll gladly provide
both profile dumps to anyone who wants to take them on.  Thanks.
