That's exactly the problem. For a restart I would have to take one server out
of the load balancing, wait until sessions have finished, restart it, move on
to the next server, and so on.
I just can't do that after every small config change.

I can't reproduce in our dev environment, because we just don't have multiple
backend servers there. I would need to move on production server to 2.4 and
rewrite all the vhost configs. If this would be an option, I would have moved
everything to 2.4 already.

If this won't be fixed, we just stick with mod_jk. It's buggy too, and handling
of the configuration files sucks, but that's the only alternative.
