If you are trying to redirect to a completely diff
machine, etc. I do believe RequestInterceptors should
work.  Tomcat comes with several RequestInterceptors
by default which you can use as reference.  Although
they are all for use in internal/relative contexts
they should give you an idea of the concept of 
Interceptors if you are not familiar with them.

Basically the idea is when a request is made to tomcat
it gets passed through the interceptors and processed
as needed.  Therefore you could write one that 
forwards/redirects based on predetermined rules.
