I have read numerous posts that say I basically have two options: mod_jk or
mod_proxy. Seeing as machine 'b', the Tomcat machine, will host the static
documents associated with its site...I think mod_proxy is the best way to
go...correct???
Depends on what you mean by "put a link to machine B on machine A". If you mean that the content on machine B is "dynamic" content that Tomcat handles, then you can use mod_jk or mod_jk2. If you mean that the content on machine B is static content, you could still do it with mod_jk (with a JkMount of "*" instead of /*.jsp), but it won't be optimal.
Mod_proxy can work, too.
I am running tomcat 4.0.3 and Apache 1.3.....I also have 2.0 available to me
if that is better.
1.3 or 2 is fine...but you should think about upgrading your Tomcat. 4.0.6 is the latest, I believe, in the 4.0 tree, and some of the fixes in .4, .5, and .6 were security related.
I cannot find documentation on how to use mod_jk under tomcat 4.0.3.
Furthermore, most documentation I read assumes Tomcat and Apache are on the
same machine. What do you do if they are not???
Version of Tomcat is fairly irrelevant as far as mod_jk is concerned...in general any documentation for any Tomcat version 4 will be fine, or even Tomcat 3.3.

If Tomcat and Apache are not on the same machine, you simply change the .host property in mod_jk's workers.properties file from "localhost" to the IP address of the machine hosting Tomcat.
In regards to mod_proxy; Where can I get this? Apache was installed previously and I do not have the source code anymore. Is there a binary version of this?
I have no idea, perhaps an Apache list can help.
