Formal "clustering" (in Tomcat) is only useful for session
replication. If you don't need session replication, all you need is a
load balancer, and you don't really even need to configure it other
than to say "balance these backend servers in some way (rr,
load-based, request-based, etc.).

If you are using Apache httpd with mod_jk, then you just need an "lb"
worker with balance_workers set to all the backend workers, and
disable sticky sessions (because the default is to use sticky
sessions, but you aren't creating sessions, anyway, right?).
