Try using the latest Apache 2.2.2 its quite stable in my eyes.
I have been benchmarking and testing it since the long going 2.1 devel 
series and its very stable and refined.
Apache 2.2 is really Apache at its best.
Just remember to compile in the non default mod_proxy modules with 
something like this.

portupgrade -N -m 'WITH_MPM=worker -DWITH_PROXY_MODULES' 
/usr/ports/www/apache22

Then use something as simple as this directive in your virtualhost 
configuration to link to your Tomcat
ProxyPass /servlets-examples ajp://127.0.0.1:8009/servlets-examples

Cheers,
Mike
