Sure,
this is one of the benefits of the various Application Servers.
Netscape Application Server, for example, supports servlets
(version 2.1 of the servlet spec). You can certainly have a single
web server which uses several application server installations on different
machines. In this setup, you'd forgo using whatever servlet support
you web server gives you and use the app server's servlet engine.
A good app server will let you load balance the work between the
various servlet engines. Often a plug-in for your web server
will decide which servlet engine should get a given request, based on
user-tunable criteria.
