No, it's not related. There are several ways how Tomcat can be integrated into 
Apache and the ajp_proxy is a convinient way to do so.

Yes, on BlueOnyx the proxy related modules are loaded, but they're 
unconfigured. So they cannot be used for proxying unless you supplement the 
right configs and restart Apache.

There certainly are Apache modules in BlueOnyx which can be commented out to 
streamline things.
