Just to let everyone know I managed to solve this issue for the most part by increasing the connectionTimout value in Tomcat to 60000 from 4000. This reflects the same timeout value as my Apache config. I still have one or two similar errors appearing in the log file but this seem to be generated from specific jsp pages and we can isolate these and troubleshoot them.

One of the sites runs on Tomcat 5.5 and two run on different instances of Tomcat 6. We then have Apache 2.2 running on myserverB and we use mod_proxy_http as the connector. We are regularly getting errors like the two lines below in our Apache log file on all three sites; (70007)The timeout specified has expired: proxy: error reading status line from remote server myserverA.com, referer: http://www.site.com proxy: Error reading from remote server returned by /cache/Folder/image.jpg, referer: http://www.site.com Can anyone advise what the issue might be?
