I managed to configure the tomcat proxy behind my apache 2.2 worker threads 
not to crash anymore, but still it stutters, while I observe the following 
conditions on my high load, complex site:

When the users come in with 500-1500 request/second the apache process 
collects the incoming request within reading state "R", as viewed 
by "server-status".

The bigger I make the apache thread configuration the heavier seems the impact 
on the tomcat behind mod_proxy (HTTP connector).

So lets talk big: The apache process collects about 1000-5000 requests when 
the tomcat manages to start working, removing the requests from the queue.

When it started working it is even able to reduce the pending requests to a 
few 5-20, which is nothing of course.  But the users already come in again 
and start populating the queue of the apache reinventing the stuttering 
condition.

Are there any hints how I can configure the tomcat/apache team to stop this 
condition ?

May prefork or a smaller worker configuration help the tomcat to react (apache 
config) ?

Are there possible tunings in web.xml, server.xml or other paramters that help 
me to react on requests faster ?

May it help to drop the apache in front at all, giving the tomcat even more 
requests of course, since it has to answer to the static contents too ?

Any hints will help.

TIA

bye ingo
