There are two options:
- Use sticky session.
  In this scenario you don't need session sharing to do 
  load balancing, but it would make the system more fail 
  safe. (If one tomcat gets out of service, sticky sessions 
  without session sharing loose all data from the current 
  sessions on this server)

- Use no sticky sessions.
  In this case session sharing is a must.

You can have loadbalancing without apache and still use 
one domainname. Just use an external loadbalancer.
