We have a winner. Creating a system property at startup and appending it to the session id worked. I was able to run multiple Tomcat instances, both on the same and multiple hosts, with 100% session stickiness. This approach will work perfectly, as we can use the jvmroute parameter as an input argument for the scripts we use to start Tomcat.
Thanks to all who helped to get this working.

Or, since you don't really need a jvmRoute but just something to add to the session id which is known by mod_jk, you can set a system property "-DjvmRoute=tomcat7A" etc. Then retrieve the value as a system property and add it to the session id, separated with a dot.
