Hi All,

I was discussing with someone two common system architectures for a web application environment and thought I'd extend it to the Tomcat community to see their views / thoughts.

If we consider that there are 5 servers available, what is the best way to utilise them assuming that both Apache and Tomcat are used -

Option 1: all 5 servers run both Apache and Tomcat and requests are load-balanced across them.
  Pro: - avoids the ~50ms delay of sending over network
       - resource allocation is more dynamic

Option 2: 2 servers running Apache passing through to 3 running Tomcat.
  Pro: - enhanced security due to tiers


So what are peoples' thoughts and views on this?

PJ
