Single Tomcat instance mapping to multiple websites

Problem: I have a need to map multiple (3) websites to a single tomcat
instance, but different web applications.
Reason: For load-balancing/fail-over.

I realize that you can install apache as the load-balancer and apache
http server can handle the virtual host mapping.  But, we are using a
piece of hardware as our load-balancer, so the http server is out of the
mix.  What is left is 2 tomcat instances communicating over the ajp13
protocol.  So, is this possible with tomcat?
