Oh, I think you got me wrong. As I said, by "non-existing name" I meant a
DNS name or definition in /etc/hosts file, something that is known to ie.
OS.
In all examples there were either "localhost" or "www.somesite.tld", so I
thought that it needs to be either DNS or /etc/hosts.
But it seem that as long as Engine's defaulthost has same name/character
string than Host element host has and that same name is used in all
instances of cluster
everything is fine as long there is ie. Apache httpd taking care of virtual
hosts, if there is any.
Anyway, below is the config of tomcat1. Tomcat2 has same config, but string
tomcat2 instead of tomcat1.

PS: I tried to send this on last week, but noticed only now that this hit
some spam filter, let's see if it is accepted now, after slight changes.
