Thanks for sharing your URL.  It looks like a very nice site.

I have used AJP connectors in the past and they worked very well, but we 
don't have any direct experience using them to connect LAS.  My best 
advice is to look for general information about using ajp connectors in 
the various Apache documentation and mailing lists.

I am curious why you would prefer to use ajp instead of an the Apache 
HTTPD proxy module.  If you think using a proxy would serve your 
purposes just as well as AJP then have a look at this page: 
http://ferret.pmel.noaa.gov/LAS/documentation/installer-documentation/installation/installing-and-integrating-tds-with-las 
which contains a few details about how to make the proxy connection 
between LAS and the Apache HTTP server.  You also need to make a similar 
connection between your TDS and the Apache HTTP server.

Also note once you have made the connection (either using AJP or a 
proxy) you will need to reconfigure your LAS by running the configure 
command and answering YES to the question about using a proxy.  This 
will remove the port number from all of the URLs that LAS generates and 
uses internally.
