Tomcat cluster isn't aware in any way what kind of infrastructure is in front of Tomcat. So it doesn't know about your Apache/mod_jk and would replicate just the same when the requests come in via an http connector, distributed by a Big IP. But: Your load balancer should do correct stickyness. The usual basic client IP stickyness is not good. The load balancer could use e.g. its own cookie to track stickyness, or use the JSESSIONID cookie of Tomcat.
