What does your APR connector configuration look like? From your SO
post it looks like you have "TLSv1" only. What if you try "all" (the
default)? This will include only TLS protocols when using Tomcat
7.0.57 or later with tcnative 1.1.32 or later (and not SSL) but it
looks like OpenSSL might use SSLv2hello when there is more than one
protocol supported.

Your other option is to simply re-enable SSLv3 on the Tomcat server
and use your firewall to prevent anyone from connecting except for
your load-balancer (which, presumably, you trust). SSLv3 is only risky
when you don't trust your clients.
