[Red5] Why do we need Tomcat(or Jetty) in Red5?

[Prabhu Tamilarasan (omNovia)]

I'm using RTMPT in a production environment now.  I have over 800 people 
connected, spread out across maybe 4-5 "rooms"s.  Most of which are 
behind firewalls so they use RTMPT to connect.  All RTMP calls get 
wrapped in an HTTP request to a gateway service, which in Red5's case is 
Tomcat.

Maybe Apache would be better?
