Well, I just started setting up a two tier system. I have a larger sun
machine running tomcat and postgresql on solaris 7. Then I have two smaller
sun machines running apache 1.3.12 on solaris 6. One of the machines does
regular pages while the other handles SSL pages. So far it seems like it is
going to work out nicely. With the use of cvs through ssh along with ant and
tomcat I fell it is a very secure way to set up our customers web sites. The
two web servers handle all the php/perl/html pages that we already have and
then the extra load for the new jsp driven e-commerce sites is handled by
the box on the back end. It seems like JServ was a little quicker and I do
not like to use nfs but all in all I think this is going to be a very
powerful setup in the future. Especially when more load balancing tools are
available.

Out of curiosity, what are people's experiences using a two-tiered setup
like this with Apache/Tomcat? I've heard some people say that sockets
between the two hosts incur more overhead than actually processing the
requests, but I've heard other people say it's a good way to divide the
load of serving a site between static and dynamic pages. Any comments, or
pointers to sites that discuss this issue?
