Maybe it's dying of old age. Since you aren't using a package-managed
version of Tomcat (and aren't at the mercy of the package-manager),
why not upgrade to a version of Tomcat that is riddled with fewer
security problems than 6.0.18? Maybe like 6.0.53, released during the
current decade.

Better yet, upgrade to Tomcat 8.5. If you aren't able to do this now,
you should really start looking at doing it in dev/test environments
so you can upgrade in the near-future.

Just checking: this is tomcat inside JBoss, right? Or do you really
have a separate Tomcat that JBoss is talking to (JBoss being a
reverse-proxy, or something similar)?

Weird. You just swapped the IP addresses of two servers and the
problem "moved" along with the IP to the other server?

Are you getting no logs from the application, Tomcat, or both? Tomcat
isn't very chatty in catalina.out once it starts up. Really, you
should only be seeing critical errors, or notices about application
(re)deploying, etc.

Does your application log to System.out? If not, I wouldn't expect
application logs to go to catalina.out.

Thanks for providing that information. If you are talking about
application-logs, you're going to need to provide more information,
such as how the application performs logging in general. Are you using
an API/framework such as log4j or slf4j? Probably not, if you are
using an ancient version of Tomcat like that. Java-logging using
java.util.logging? Hmm... also probably not. Are you using
ServletContext.log() to perform logging? If so, those logs should be
going to an application-specific log in the logs/ directory.
