Just to reinforce a comment by Andre, I think you might want to compare
the request processor counts you have for Tomcat versus mod_jk: the
default maxThreads for a Tomcat <Connector> is 200, while your
MaxClients settings might be different on your Apache httpd configuration.

If you have httpd.MaxClients=250 and connector.maxThreads=200 then you
have a deficit of 50 who will get 503 errors if they try to access your
webapp during peak load.

I believe that only the Worker MPM is available on Microsoft Windows.
Have you explicitly configured an MPM?

You might want to read the documentation for worker.cachesize in
http://tomcat.apache.org/connectors-doc/reference/workers.html

Note that it's deprecated and you should use connection_pool_size instead.

Since you're using Apache 2.x, mod_jk should be able to auto-configure
this value for you.

- From my reading, you may be limiting yourself to 10 simultaneous
connections from Apache httpd to Tomcat, and others will get a 503.
Rainer or Mladen will have to comment to clarify: I am certainly no
expert in mod_jk configurations.

Hope that helps,
