Unless of course you need mod_rewrite. We also handle millions a day with exactly this set up.

Without knowing your requests (duration, resources they consume etc) its hard to make any estimations at all, but "normally" (whatever normally is) and on fair hardware 40 requests a second are easily served by one tomcat. So you could set up two machines with tomcats, put the traffic on one of them and let your hw loadbalancer perform the failover to the spare machine if needed. regards Leon P.S. There are indeed some real scenarios, where a httpd in front would be useful: down page, ssl, port 80 stress, but since you have a loadbalancer, it will be serving it much better as httpd, so use your lb features.
