No problem.
I am now convinced the problem is not in the firewall. It must be somewhere in Apache, Tomcat, or my application code (Most likely). I think I was seeing the firewall logs after I restarted Apache since the responses were rejected since they no longer were attached to an established connection.
Look into the number of busy httpd servers, that might be your problem (and why it's not accepting any new connections). To do that you can use a configured URL in Apache (I believe it is /server-status) or you can at least estimate using "ps" and comparing with the settings for maximum number of servers in your httpd.conf.
