So's putting your hand on a hot stove burner; the value of the lesson is yours to decide :-)
... was laboring under the impression (rightly or wrongly) that it would increase performance because Apache was better at static content
An out-of-date assumption; again, check the archives for more recent discussion on that. I have one very graphics-intensive site in production and see no responsiveness issues.
Would it change the argument if I was hosting multiple, independent, disparate virtual hosts?
No; fronting with Apache httpd is even more of a PITA in that case.
Would the fact I was using a second IP make a difference in the ease of configuration and/or maintenance?
The second IP approach is only suggested if you *need* httpd for some non-Java applications. Keeping them totally separate from your Tomcat installation seems a lot easier (more maintainable) to me. YMMV. :-) HTH! -- Hassan Schroeder ------------------------ [EMAIL PROTECTED] --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
