Have you tried using the tunnelServlet to pass all static requests to
Apache? Its a little "bass-ackwards", but orion could be faster than apache
in this respect.
Also, are you running orion, the loadbalancer, and apache on the same
machine? This could be just a load issue.
Lastly, orion is generally faster than apache at serving up static content.
There are very good reasons for using apache for static content, though,
that have nothing to do with speed. (For example, you have one ssl cert for
apache, and you don't want to pay for another one for orion.).

Subject: Apache and Orion
Is anyone using Apache as a front end to Orion. I find that using mod_proxy
to forward web application requests
is quite slow compared to using tomcat. Does anyone know if there is
something else i can use beside mod_proxy
for Apache to serve static pages and orion to serve my web applications ?
I do need to use Apache as a front end server.
I am also using a loadbalancer and a cluster for my orion setup behind
apache.
Any help would be much appreciated
