The traditional way to handle this is to set connectionTimeout="300000" (the actual value will vary depending on your system :). This will recycle the thread if no Apache child talks to it for 5min.
Usually a better solution with 5.5.x is to use the APR or NIO AJP Connector. These allows for Tomcat to maintain the Socket connection to a large number of Apache children, without committing Threads to them until it actually recieves a request.
