I have a cluster of Tomcat 5.5 servers that are running Apache 2.2 to serve static content; mod_jk 1.2.25 connector is used. I am considering adding apache servers in separate corners of the country to serve the static content closer to the user. I can not copy Tomcat to each of these locations. I was thinking of routing the ajp traffic through an OpenVPN SSL tunnel to the existing tomcat servers. We did some tests and were surprised that there seemed to be a decent performance increase.

Has anyone had any successes, failures, or gotcha’s doing this?

Would mod_jk solution use less bandwidth than something like mod_proxy to redirect the tomcat-destined http/s requests?

Any suggestions on stopping user access to a Apache if AJP link to Tomcat drops?

Thanks,
John
