mod_jserv is a little deprecated and slower than mod_jk which
use the advanced ajp13 (connections reuse, SSL informations from Apache

With Apache / Tomcat you could construct farm a highly evolutive
configuration.
You start with one Box, hosting Apache and Tomcat and could advance
to Apache -> N * Tomcat. Later you could also use more advanced
configuration with an Alteon Router -> M * Apache -> (N * M) Tomcat.
It will help you have a solution which could grow with load
