Certainly. Think of the overhead being _added_ by passing a request through httpd just to get to Tomcat. If the vast majority of the requests are for static content and only very few for dynamic, then using httpd in front of Tomcat makes sense; but if a significant fraction of the requests are targeting JSPs or servlets, then standalone Tomcat 5.5 may well result in better overall response time. Front-ending a set of Tomcats with Apache httpd for load-balancing or redundancy is also a highly appropriate (and relatively inexpensive) approach. - Chuck THIS COMMUNICATION MAY CONTAIN CONFIDENTIAL AND/OR OTHERWISE PROPRIETARY MATERIAL and is thus for use only by the intended recipient.
