If your not scared of the performance penalty (which these days isn't scary unless you really have high load) - try adding this to your apache config - it will end the connection between apache and tomcat after each request. This virtually eliminates the chance of a firewall dropping connections for you.

JkOptions     +DisableReuse

YOu prob dont want this permanantly but its a good test

Thank you Tim

I am going to attempt to set the maxThreads on 8011 to 600 and hope it helps.

The config is 1 linux apache2 server with 4 linux tomcat servers and each 
tomcat server has 4 sepearte tomcat instances. So we have a total of 16 tomcat 
instances across 4 servers.

Yes, there is a firewall between the web sever and the app(tomcat)/db(mysql) 
server.

Looking at the history of the thread - here are some guesses ....

You have a connector on port 81 (http) and a connector on 8011 (ajp) and 
commented out connector for 443.

The port 81 connector and commented out connector are set to 600 - which means 
absolutely nothing if apache is talking to tomcat via jk.

Set |maxThreads on the connector for using port 8011 and life should be better.

If there are mulitple apache servers in front of tomcat  - you need to ensure 
you have (#apaches * max number connections per apache) threads available on 
each tomcat. The thread history seems to indicate you only have one apache with 
100 workers max. So raising the maxThreads in tomcat from 200 to something 
higher is not needed.

Is there a firewall between apache and tomcat? If so - it could mean that your 
firewall is timing out the connection and then bad things happen.
