-Currently, the Apache webserver is set
+Currently, the Apache webserver is set up to proxy requests to the tomcat daemon in charge of a specific environment. The configuration is also already set up to perform loadbalancing. Note that in the configuration below the application context is ''gscf-0.8.3-www'', this should be changed to match the application context on the tomcat server:

+Adding more nodes to include in the loadbalanced setup can be done by extending the ''proxy balancer'' configuration directive:
