[lug] tomcat5.5 as daemon on FC4

[George Sexton]

Apache is OK. Mod_jk2 is deprecated, so you should be working on switching
over to (or back to) mod_jk.

For our hosted system, we are running about 70 virtual hosts on one machine.
The additional configuration overhead of setting the virtual hosts up in
Tomcat, and in Apache would just be a killer.
