For a back-end server, if I have my maximum number of Tomcat threads set to some value, say 100, what is rule of thumb for setting the maximum number of Apache threads? The idea is that if we have up to 100 user requests being handled by Tomcat, should we only allow 100 Apache user requests? Or should we have some buffer to queue up requests when we are busy? If there should be more Apache threads than Tomcat threads, what is a good number?
