Yes, using the redirection DLL AFAIK is the way to go.  It uses AJP12/AJP13 
as its underlying protocol, which will enable Tomcat to serve the dynamic 
content faster than if it was just using HTTP standalone. [Last benchmarks 
that I heard].

As far as restarting Tomcat if you restart IIS, I haven't the foggiest.
