Hi Catrine,
I think your post will generate more questions than answers. Can you advise on why you need 3 threads to run on 3 different servers, are the 3 threads doing different jobs whats the problem with them running on one server.

Also some other things you should be aware of. If you are creating threads like

Thread t = new Thread(new MyRunnable()) 

this is not recommended. In ejb specs its not allowed and while not explicit in the servlet spec I don't think its advised. In websphere unmanaged threads don't have access to context info so jndi looks using an InitialContext may give you null pointers. For scheduling take a look at the scheduling section in this article

I think post some more details on what type of work you need to do with these 3 threads and why they need to execute on different servers and we'll see if there are alternative ways to doing what you want.
