LJ I hear you Problem is the web service will still be available on the one available over the external network

Make the one that has it only available internal to the network, make the other one available external to your network. It increases maintenance (two Mid-Tiers), but it would certainly solve your problem...assuming you have enough memory to host a second tomcat.

But changing the WS’s to be ID/PW we have a host of applications that would need to change (and most are legacy) see the dilemma here. The remedy web services are run by AXIS on Tomcat I found this on the web it might be able to do a port change for all XML related traffic. Will need to investigate further on this subject to change maybe the port used by Axis http://www.javaranch.com/journal/2002/05/axis.html This question is probably more Tomcat Related then Remedy.

If yo could explain what you are trying to do by separating them out, we might be able to help with that objective.
