To me it's not quite clear what you are doing exacly.
I see three option to use an externl loadbalancer.
Which one is the one you use ?
- use mod_jk with sticky sessions.
- Setup two apaches with a mod_jk.
- Setup loadbalancing for mod_jk.
- Setup two tomcats with a unique jvmRoute.

Although the last mails from Bill Barker indicate that current
implementation of mod_jk doesn't balance the load equally, this
scenario should work for you, as the external load balancer does
this already. The Loadbalancer in mod_jk is just used to route
the requests to the correct tomcat.
- use session replication.
In this scenario each instance of tomcat has a copy of the session
data, so it doesn't matter which receives the request.
In this case you can omit apache and mod_jk and use tomcat native.

- use a load balancer that supports sticky sessions
(url and cookie based sessions)
In this case you can treat each tomcat as a stand alone
server.
