Thanks!

At present I don't think we will have so many connections. I agree with
Topology 3 but I'm concerned about future performance as more
connections come in and also the Single Point Of Failure (SPOF) at the
DB Server. Any further comments?

Regards,

Tom

are you going to be having enough connections that you will need
Tomcat and Apache on separate machines?

with 1 and 2, you will have to synchronise the databases.
