TomCat Proxied by WebServer´s

[Acácio Furtado Costa <Ac...@magnesita.com.br>]

HI List.
 
    Does anyone know if is it possible to use two Webserver´s (Proxies, one external and other internal) connected to multiples TomCat application Server´s (Grouped in Cluster) ? Better , Is it possible to have two connectors in operation at same time connected in same group of TomCat server´s?
 
Cause, we´ll need to provide access to external user´s by Webserver (Proxy 1) placed in DMZ and  will provide access to internal user´s by Webserver (Proxy2) placed inside of our network but the Application nodes (tomCat 5.0.x)  are in the same cluster (grouped by).
 
Figure  to  Ilustrate the situation
