I think that what you want is not part of tomcat nor will it be. What you
require is a load blancer (or a machine that acts as a load balancer but I
don't know of any open source initiative on this). The loadbalancer keeps
track of session data will forward each request from one and the same
browser (not ip address but browser) to the same machine untill the users
session expires. I have had good epiriences with the Radware WSD Pro, hard
to install an configure but once up, works like a charm. But it really
depend on your butget if you can spare some for a load balancer.

Subject: Load Balancing for WEB-Application with sessions
Hi,
For improving the performace, we are going to serve requests with many
computers. Here, a problem with redirection arises. As a rule, the requests
are randomly redirected to the existent servers, and it functions well for
undependent pages and servlets. We have to ensure that a hole session is
processed on (redirected to) the same server. Are there possibilities to do
it in Tomcat, or we have to write a redirector-servlet ourselves, to
control the redirections according to the session.
Mit freundlichen Gr��en
