That has been added, and it should work in both jk1 and jk2 ( I don't 
remember who sent the patch, but I remember adding it ). If it doesn't 
work yet, is easy to fix.

This is essential for jk2's JNI worker, which fits perfectly this case
( you don't want to send via TCP when you have a tomcat instance in the 
same process ).

That's what the SHM scoreboard is going to do ( among other things ). 
You can register tomcat instances ( which will be added automatically ),
or unregister - in which case no new requests ( except the old sessions )
will go to the unregistered tomcat.
