Why do you think that? Glassfish is designed for high volume, actually, so
the truth is the opposite of what you "know". In fact, Sun recently has been
crowing about setting a new enterprise benchmark record (on some Spec
benchmark) with their servers running Glassfish against a PostgreSQL back end.

What evidence do you have that "GlassFish isn't meant to be a high volume web
server"?

My mistake.. no intention to offend.

Who's offended?

As for Glassfish working with Apache web server, see
<http://wiki.glassfish.java.net/Wiki.jsp?page=FaqGlassFishBehindApache>

The Glassfish Wiki has a comparison chart with Tomcat that answers your question

3) Is it possible to configure GlassFish to handle virtual domains and
more than one IP address?

Virtual server features

<http://docs.sun.com/app/docs/doc/819-3674/6n5skvu76?a=view#indexterm-711>

A virtual server, also called a virtual host, is a virtual web server that
serves content targeted for a specific URL. Multiple virtual servers can serve
content using the same or different host names, port numbers, or IP addresses.
The HTTP service can direct incoming web requests to different virtual servers
based on the URL.
