Hi Gabriel, I think that the usage of jvmRoute wasn't build into tomcat right from the beginning of tc 4.x. Try to use tomcat 4.0.3.
When this doesn't work you could check out jakarta-tomcat-connectors from cvs and build the utils and jk part. jk2 is under development, but you may check this one too. After building this you get the newest mod_jk / mod_jk2 with lb and sticky sessions.
