Not exactly. Apache itself can't do load balancing. You could use a dedicated Tomcat instance to loadbalance to backend Tomcats in the same way as you described using Apache however either way you are still left with a single point of failure. Neither Tomcat nor Apache can loadbalance by themselves for various reasons including issues with IP address sharing a MAC address caching.

Am I correct that Tomcat is not setup to do load balancing without the use of an Apache fronting? The mod_jk module is the best way to load-balance requests on multiple servers using the Tomcat container, either standalone or embedded in JBoss?
