What are the advantages/disadvantages to using Apache as the http server
sending all jsp/servlet related traffic to Tomcat for processing, or
using Tomcat stand alone? Other factors...I need to run SSL, and to
support multiple virtual hosts.

Howdy,
Apache is the best HTTP web server out there, I'd say. That's a
sweeping statement that covers:
- Configurability: you can configure pretty much anything any which way
- Stability: no other HTTP server is hit as hard / as much as Apache
httpd, no other HTTP server is expected to stay up
One other point I would like to add is running on port 80. If you use apache
as soon as the server has started it can switch to another role which you
can't do with Tomcat.

Additional question if I may ...
CGI?
Reason : A previous Admin system was CGI-perl based. I have used TC to
do the stuff I do ... but we still need the previous bits. We're about
to integrate, and I have taken it on 'faith' that we can just 'mix the 2
together' - others know Apache well.

Howdy,
You can do CGI in tomcat-standalone:
http://jakarta.apache.org/tomcat/tomcat-4.1-doc/cgi-howto.html
However, seeing as how CGI is an area where security is a big risk, I'd
rather delegate that to Apache.

Thanks - 'fraid I was being lazy (didn't check beforehand) but it was
not high on my priority list.
