I had 2 questions regarding tomcat configuration:

1) We are currently trying to reconfigure our IIS to point to the tomcats as 
follows:

We will have 4 web servers. And 3 app servers each running 4 tomcat instance 
each  configured to only have AJP connectors. In total 12 tomcat instance 
running in total.
And each web server is going to point to all the 12 tomcats for failover at the 
web server layer. Is there any downside to such a configuration? Earlier we had 
one web server point to only one app server running 4 instances.

2) In the 
 <!-- Define a Coyote/JK2 AJP 1.3 Connector on port 8009 -->
     <Connector port="8009" 
                enableLookups="false" redirectPort="8443" debug="0"
                protocol="AJP/1.3" />
 
 I can define one more attribute named maxProcessors.
 
 A maxProcessors value of zero (0) signifies that        the number of 
processors is unlimited. If not specified, this       atttribute defaults to 20.

In the documentation it mentions for the [maxProcessors] "This should be       
set to a value that is greater than or equal to the maximum number       of 
concurrent connections the remote web server can open to Tomcat        
simultaneously."

In the configuration described above(1), since all the webservers are going to 
point to all the tomcat instances, we are thinking of putting [maxProcessors 
value of zero (0) ] in the AJP connector. Is there any disadvantage to that?

Thanks,
Rumpa Giri
