The silence you experienced is people being dumbfounded that you're
running Tomcat 3 (versions up to and including 5.0 are now no longer
supported) and AJP12. Tomcat 3 is ancient.
(I'm hoping that the 'a' doesn't mean an alpha version.)

At this time it seems like the threads are just stacking up and nothing is
processed.
... on the same server hardware one could presume?
Could just be that your load is now too much for the server.
If the application hasn't changed but things were previously stable, and
the load has increased, then the thing that has changed is likely to
lead you to the cause.

see below.

the server and if the server is not responding within a certain time, they will
"cut-off" the request. Could it be that tomcat is not "releasing" these
requests?
Could just be that your setup is old and overwhelmed.

# Examine the servers performance under peak load conditions - determine
if it's actually able to handle the demand.
# Plan an upgrade to some newer hardware.
# Plan an upgrade to a newer, supported version of Tomcat. Keeping up
to date with releases is not essential, but you should stay reasonably
current if you are able.
