If you just want failover on the head apache: use two nodes with vrrp + keepalived (if you're on linux) to monitor your service.
If you need load-balancing, then you should use two VRRP addresses with DNS round-robin. But you'll stumble on client-server persistence problem if you don't use tomcat clustering.
