Christian, Unless I misundertsood your question, this is typically done using the "jvmRoute" parameter in the Tomcat configuration (check the Tomcat docs for how to use this parameter). In this way, session IDs are suffxied with a unique id for each Tomcat and clients are always routed to the same Tomcat for the life of their session.
Routing by source IP alone can be somewhat unreliable if you have many clients coming through a single proxy such as from many ISPs, NAT translation or from a VPN concentrator.
