If you wanted to mimic load-balancing (meaning that you as a human
arbitrarily choose which back-end instance to contact) then you didn't
need Apache httpd in the mix: you can simply connect directly to
whichever Tomcat you want.

I think we're getting off-topic, though, as it seems the cluster
membership is the problem and not loca-balancing and/or
app-server-selection.
