Without using hardware load balancers, how could you implement the
architecture whereby (as you described) lighttpd serves static content,
Tomcat serves dynamic content, but with the two sets of servers (lighttpd
and Tomcat) in parallel rather than lighttpd fronting Tomcat?

Would you be required to, in your JSPs, include all links to static content
using http://staticserver.site.com/...?

That would be one very good option. I think ebay uses it and many
others. Another option would be for example puting a squid infront of
the tomcat and let it cache the static tomcat served by tomcat (and
any other cacheable content). Its almost the same as apache httpd
infront, but squid is faster in a number of things. However, I think
there are a lot of possible solutons, without knowing your usecase its
hard to pick one :-)

What are all the available options to implement this setup? Thanks.
