Hi all,
   It is possible to do a server side redirect to another Tomcat Server
(any other web server)? I dont want to use status codes 3xx, as this
involves the user agent in redirection.

What you are asking is to locate a resource on another server. If you 
want to do this you need to route the request to another server (setting 
tomcat as a proxy). You are more or less making the server the 
browser-client is talking to another client of a deeper server. More or 
less like the following illustration:

   browser ------> tomcat ------> another tomcat
In most cases it would be more wise to setup another webserver (such as 
apache) that routes your requests to different tomcat servers (using the 
mod_jk extension or something like that), which looks more like the 
following:

                                               ------> first tomcat
   browser ------> proxy (apache for instance) ------> second tomcat
                                               ------> third tomcat
May I ask what you are actually trying to do?
