The assertion came from Niels. My understanding is that he's the author. See the 
following quotes:

12-30-2010 "Actually, we also use Apache to "frontend" icebreak apps, just for 
the reason that apache have some cool rewrite and reroute features...."

1-4-2011 "And the fact that IceBreak is the ILE servlet container also 
underlines the misunderstanding of the title of this Thread: "IceBreak as an 
alternative to Apache" - Well is Tomcat an alternative to Apache? no - not 
really. Typically you use Apache and tomcat very closely together. We also use 
Apache and IceBreak closely together."

What makes you think that?  I haven't tried Icebreak myself. So I'm just going 
on Niels' comments. Well, maybe I wonder if anyone in their right mind would 
write their own HTTP server given that Apache runs everywhere. But that's just a 
subconscious thought ;-)
