Hi Dan.
I really appreciate the work you're doing on Apache -> Tomcat connectivity!
Couple of questions first:
1) (totally unrelated) the mod_jk howto seems to suggest that mod_jk is
useable from _inside_
apache VirtualHost statements. However, practical experience - ands much
screaming ;) - have proven that this doesn't actually work, and any JkMount
commands inside a VirtualHost are effectively ignored, even though tomcat
has created a vhost context on startup. do you know anything about this
functioanlity, and whether it could be implemented?
2) please could you investigate word wrapping your mails at 80 characters?
(Mailing list readability etc :) )

Yes, given the point is for a HA web service. Tomcat already requires apache
to be shutdown far too much - everytime tomcat gets restarted apache has to
too - there must be a better way of implementing this. The front end web
server shouldn't see anything past the loadbalancing worker, which should
then manage the actual tomcat instances.Would it be possible to implement a
heartbeat style system for automatically taking dead or stopped instances
out of the pool?
There shouldn't be any need to restart apache.

Not as far as I can remember.
