FIREWALL AND APACHE + TOMCAT MOD_WEBAPP : RESTART APACHE IF RESTART FIREWALL

Hi all,

I have a box with apache 1.3.26 in the DMZ network of my firewall

and a box with tomcat 4.0.5  in the trusted network of the firewall.

they are connected  by mod_webapp

(tcp traffic on port 8008 is allowed between the two boxes.)


The problem :

if I reboot my firewall (ex: because of a change of policy)

the connection between apache and tomcat is lost.

(apache alone works but the connection with tomcat is lost)

In order to have apache+tomcat working again I must restart apache (not
tomcat).

The question:

Is there something to change in the configuration that makes the connection
work without restart of apache?

Any suggestion is welcome  :-)
