Thanks for the response Mike! My main concern stems from the issue with the cookies created by the CAS servers. They appear to be set for the domain of the server that issued it (e.g. casA.example.com, casB.example.com, etc), which won't be available to the other servers in the cluster.
How are the CAS servers in your cluster set up? I take it you have a single URL, which directs requests to a server. What additional steps must be done to configure Apache/Tomcat/CAS for load balancing outside of a normal CAS deployment?

However, if the load balancer detects that a node fails it migrates those sessions to another node where the Tomcat session and ticket cache have already been replicated. In other words, we use sticky sessions and have uninterrupted service within the cluster.
