You might consider the necessity of using port 8080 as well - client-side firewalls might block it, it is non-standard, and probably hard-coded everywhere along side the IP address. You can run Tomcat on port 80 (see the archives of this list--it has been discussed recently), or front with httpd (apache) and mod_proxy / mod_jk if (not strictly necessary, although it is still widely done.)
