Then personally the things i'd look at would be a thread dump of tomcat to find out if 
some of the requests are hung, look for bad loops or bits of code that might wait and 
therefore not freeing up the response. A profiler may help here but you'd have to 
profile the live app if you are unable to replicate this outside your live environment.

Perhaps the app is using more memory than is required and spending too much time in 
garbage collection causing the connections to back up. You can monitor this in a 
profiler and a more visual representation with jvmstat from sun.

Apache logs and catalina.out are often full of useful error messages but it doesnt 
sound like you have a specific error here.

Our company uses covalent for support, I am a mere developer.  I don't
even have control or major influence of the platforms or
administration.  I will mention that right away...

To be honest, I have a feeling its something code/network related
because it was happening prior to apache 2.0...

Any more suggestions would be much appreciated, is there anything I
can research or look for in code or logs or status pages?
