having apache handle static content isn't a bad idea anyway. > - Which version of Tomcat is recommended (4.0.4 or 4.1.8)? 4.0.4 is the current "production quality" release, but the 4.1.x (4.1.9 was just released) releases will probably give you better performance, as well as running with the jdk1.4. Many folks on this list have reported good things while running 4.1.x If you are concerned with relatively heavy load, you may wish to consider multiple Tomcat instances.
