OK, I'm sure some of you guys can weigh in better on this than me, but:
If he already has two "intelligent" load-balancers terminating the SSL,
couldn't he simplify the configuration a good bit by removing the
Apache servers all together? That is, couldn't he just run Tomcat as a
stand-alone cluster with HTTP/HTTPS connectors instead of AJP?

To answer my own question: Unless he needs the Apache httpd setup to insure session
stickyness because his "intelligent" load-balancers cannot provide it.
There are other reasons too:
- adding addition access restricions not handled in tomcat
- adding custom errorpages
- offloading static content from tomcat
- doing some rewriting
- ...
Apache httpd may not be very lightweight but it is very feature rich.
Often it is the only point you can additionaly influence closed
application running in tomcat
