If Tomcat isn't answering the forwarded requests of an Apache-webserver fast enough Apache will show a error-page (IIRC error code 503). You could change the content of this page to something less mysterious. If your application supports load balancing you could use mod_proxy or mod_jk to use one Apache as load balancer but you should have carefully tested the ability of your application to run in a load-balanced environment (e.g. session handling, DB-connection pooling,...). If your application is getting irreparable unstable by overload it might help if you limit the number of connections that the Apache-Tomcat-connector allows.
