I wish it wasn't so long since I tested this config out but from what I can remember you only need mod_proxy/mod_rewrite if you are going to have a hardware load balancer between the web and application servers. This DevNet article explains how to use the jrun connector on different subnets: http://www.macromedia.com/support/coldfusion/administration/cfmx_in_distributed_mode/cfmx_in_distributed_mode02.html
When I last used the config mentioned before, I was using a Cisco CSS and I guess they now have an article (with links to the older articles) here: http://www.macromedia.com/support/coldfusion/administration/cfmx_in_distributed_mode/cfmx_in_distributed_mode02.html The main benefit we found using hardware load balancers with sticky sessions was that we could shut off new connections to a server and wait for the load to go away before taking it down for rollouts/maintenance.
