could be a little tricky. how would you do this without getting the nodes
out of sync.

nope, it would be more weblogic style, so all servers are members of the
cluster, but data only gets replicated between two of them.

depends on how much data is being transferred. so the answer could be yes
and no, the current implementation is more expensive than the
primary/secondary solution I was talking about.

you mean a software load balancer, there are a bunch of them out there
already. I use my homegrown in Java.

I would like to continue the work on this. I think that Bela and myself
would be a big resource to Tomcat clustering.
