I don't have a crystal ball to look into your setup, but I would remove httpd
and set up the LB and Tomcat. Less moving parts, so it is easier to think about.
And read this: http://tomcat.apache.org/tomcat-7.0-doc/cluster-howto.html

Hello,
I mean a frontend Apache httpd and backend Tomcat server.
Loadbalancing would be done by a hardware load balancer fronted to the
Apache Webserver, so we should not balance the request two times. It should
be only a Failovercluster.
Best regards
Alexander

Betreff: Re: Preferred configuration with Hardware Loadbalancer
What do you mean by Apache Webserver? Do you mean Apache Tomcat or Apache
httpd?
And do you want Failover (active-passive) or Loadbalancing (active-active)?
