There is VERY experimental work made on Clustering servers and the ability to
replicate sessions in memory. However you have to run your tomcat's with
a frontend, i.e. a network dispatcher. I'm not sure if this is what you
want to do. However it's not heavily tested and considered highly
experimental, and did I mention it's for Tomcat 4.x only.
However if you do wanna try this out I can tell you howto set it up and enable
it since it's not a documented feature.
