I'm getting the following error when Apache attempts to send a servlet
request to Tomcat (running 3.2b):

If I try and access the servlet through the internal Http server on port
8080 it works.  Also - are the load balancing features working in 3.2b?  I
created a load balancing worker in the workers.properties file then
directed the Ajp13ConnectionHandler port to point at the load balancing
worker's port - but then I couldnt get the servlet to work even from the
internal Http port (connection failed error).

Thanks,
