Yeah I haven't found any way of doing load balancing without Apache either. My question was hopefull but you only confirmed my earlier findings :(.
We're probably going with hardware SSL so I wouldn't need Apache to handle this and that's why I want standalone Tomcats (I was curious about their performance with SSL though). In any case you're right about not a lot of people worrying about this. It seems like load balancing is not very commonly used. Good luck, d.
