yes, a guy posted a patch on this mailing list a while back,
where you can predefine your members(hardcode them into server.xml).
I am superbusy right now so I have not had time to incorporate those.
So that would be direct tomcat to tomcat replication

Not sure why you must have a load balancer that supports multicast, should not have 
anything to do with it. It is the
switch/hub/router that your tomcat servers connects into that should support multicast
