Tomcat, ajp, IIS - loosing connection

["Peter Olin" <peter.olin (at) gmail.com>]

Thanks Chris!

Yes, Tomcat and IIS are on different machines, and yes, there is firewall
stuff in between. IIS is in a publicly available layer, and Tomcat is more
"inside" protected from the outside world. And at the moment there is only
infrequent traffic to the server.

I'll follow up your theory - it sounds reasonable.
