I have an apache2 instance proxying requests to several tomcat instances. Sometimes the default virtualhost is unresponsive (tomcat is running but app not responding). When this happens none of the other virtual hosts are reachable through apache but they work going direct to tomcat. Should the default virtualhost be a static page to avoid this issue? Any other settings to tell apache to skip the default if it doesn't respond?
In the httpd.conf there are proxypass/proxypassreverse statements outside of the virutalhost blocks. I don't know if that could be confusing things.
