the mod_jk connection will talk to the apache server only. Tomcat and apache are communicating with AJP, not with HTTP, so the original web-client would not be able to understand the answers from tomcat directly. If your apache server will suffer a slow down by too many connections/clients, will depend on the kind of connections. Are they cpu/disk intensive, or will the just saturate your internet network connection? You could use two or more apache servers in front of the tomcat servers to achieve a loadbalancing there. Those apache servers could be loadbalanced itself by dns ot other means and could be talking directly and independently with the web-clients. Since the backend-tomcat instances are encoded in the session id's each apache would know which request would have to go to which tomcat.
