> client <- talks on 443 ssl to -> apache <- talks ??? on port 8009 ->
tomcat

I would think apache talks "AJP protocol" on port 8009 to tomcat. The ssl
between client and port 443 on apache is "http over ssl". Since I don't know
of something like "ajp over ssl" I would presume it is not encrypted.

Again: Correct my if I'm wrong, since I have not tested it with a
packet-sniffer (or something like that).

i'm not sure this answers the question.  i am also interested in this.
let me draw a picture:


client <- talks on 443 ssl to -> apache <- talks ??? on port 8009 -> tomcat

the problem being that if the webser gets encrypted stuff and then
passes it to tomcat in the clear, someone could get the unencrypted
info from the second conversation.
