Not necessarily an answer to your questions, but I worked with the people at Adobe to try and get working session replication with Tomcat (v7, but v6 should be the same) installed separately with ColdFusion deployed as a war file in tomcat. At first CF sessions didn't replicate with weird errors about ClassNotFound ... eventually I got to a working solution (though with a "caveat"):

The bottom line is:

I _can_ confirm that, with working Tomcat clustering in place, if I ensure there is no "Application name" set in the Application.cfc or Application.cfm file then clustering _does_ work (obviously I had to tell CF to allow nameless applications in the admin interface). As soon as I put an application name back in clustering once again starts logging nasty errors and fails to work.

So

• don't name your application, which requires you allowing applications wtih no name in the CF admin console
• make sure your tomcat replication is working the first place (I deployed https://code.google.com/p/hsr-test/ In order to verify "outside coldfusion"
• tweak your logging for clustering
  

My conf/logging.properties additions for cluster logging:

# Log clustering information

org.apache.catalina.cluster = FINE

org.apache.catalina.ha.deploy.level = INFO

org.apache.catalina.ha.level = FINE

org.apache.catalina.tribes.level = FINE

org.apache.catalina.tribes.MESSAGES.level = FINE

For reference I ended up with the below as my tomcat cluster configuration (which is basically what you'd get from reading loads of cruft on tomcat clustering on the web):
