Hi Kiran,
For sites which use a loadbalancer in front of ofbiz, Apache webserver
is not required and the load balancer directly talks to the ofbiz 8080
port. Virtual host in ofbiz tomcat is then pretty useful and the system
gets less complicated not using also a webserver.
Concerning images, we normally use a CDN like Amazon Cloudfront so also
here the webserver is not required.
But, sure you can apache webserver also for these tasks.
Regards,
Hans

Hello Hans,
This link talks about using Virtual Host. But I believe, Nicolas question
is using Virtual Host in Apache Tomcat v/s Apache WebServer (Sitting in
front of Tomcat for serving images, etc).
I assume, there will be Proxy and/or Rewrite rules in WebServer that
forward request to Tomcat. So if we don't allow proxy for certain
application, user cannot reach the backend application, right?
