Dear Mallory and Mark, then I'm the one of the rare who use an "unusual" setups for more than 10 years :) . On a staged farm of about 3*10 Tomcat's we run a whole bunch of "webapps"; most of them in at least two instances for failover.
But I never configured more than one Service and one Engine: There is only one Service , with an AJP Connector for the reverse proxy (Apache httpd + Jakarta) and a http Connector for service purposes. Inside, there is one Engine and inside this, there are a bundle of Hosts for each domain needed for the applications and inside each hosts (using an individual appBase for each domain), the deployments spawn contexts for each application running. Among this hosts, there's also a "localhost" taking the admin applications. This one is addressed via the http Connector.
