OK. If it's *in front*, then you'll need httpd ("Apache HTTP") to proxy for
you by some means.

At that point httpd is not "in front" of Tomcat - Tomcat's serving the content
directly to the browser. Is that acceptable to the client?

$customer needs to be clear what they want. Do they want:
- The browser communicating via httpd to Tomcat for all requests;
- The browser communicating directly with Tomcat for Tomcat-related requests;
- Don't care as long as it works;
- Don't care as long as it adheres to our security policies?

The "classic" way of doing that is to use mod_jk in httpd, and an AJP connector
in Tomcat. You don't specify which Tomcat version you're on, so it's kinda
hard to point you to the correct version of the docs for that :-).
