Not yet. Current focus is on getting mod_webapp working. Clustering support
will follow on once that is done.
In the mean time, one idea I've been thinking about is the possibility of
writing a webapp that acts as a proxy server (something like what mod_proxy does
in Apache) so that you could create your own "distributed" scenario by having
one Tomcat 4.0 installation accept all requests, and parcel them out to a bunch
of worker Tomcats (or other servers, for that matter). Don't know if it would
really be fast enough, but in principle this does not seem very difficult to
build. Anyone interested in working on such a beast?

There were a few micro-benchmarks published on TOMCAT-DEV several months ago
(which of course would be out of date now). Informal comments I have heard
range from "at least as fast as 3.2" to "it feels *much* faster".
One very noticeable difference will be when your client supports HTTP/1.1 (which
Tomcat 4.0 also supports) -- the overhead of establishing a TCP/IP socket per
request is substantially reduced through the use of persistent connections.
