Well, load testing on the Apache end would be the way to go for scalability testing. You can monitor the network connections to the Tomcat instances (use of netstat does well here; grep for the number of connections to each port every N seconds or minutes, etc.). To test the session stuff, try shutting down instances as you are running through the app. Can you access each Tomcat instance individually? The best way is to use each Tomcat's web server and to access it on the port. Then, shut down that Tomcat and access another Tomcat by its port. If your session continues unaffected, you are good to go. If you have a REALLY good load tester that can capture page data (i.e., return codes and pages from the web server), you could randomly shutdown Tomcat instances while load testing to see how that affects the ouput.
