I dont know of an answer to that one. I think it is impossible unless you have a JVM that will use 4 procs... Sun doesnt seem to do this. > > 2.

Yes, this is what we do on linux. Just setup the services, and let the operating system do the rest. Since you have multiple processes, the OS will see them both being used and put them on separate processors (well... Linux is smart enough to do it, who know about Windows. JK :) ) I believe the reason is that one JDK process is run and Tomcat is multithreaded. if you had multiprocess and you had static variables that you needed one copy of, you would need RMI or messaging or something and it would be more complicated. Actually what we do is we have several apps on one box, and we put some in one Tomcat instance, and some in the other. Works fine.
