mod_perl handles monitoring and any url that ends with .pxt.  It is correct that
it connects to the DB via RHN::DB.  The xmlrpc api, *.do urls, and
*.jsp urls are all
being handled by tomcat.
mod_python handles the client interactions.

It is indeed a weird bug. One would think it is a memory leak because
the SizeLimit
continues to grow and doesn't seem to level off, but on 32-bit
versions it has never
been an issue.
