Hi Sean,

Problem is that everything works fine as long as I use www.mydomain.com. If
I use the dynamic url 12345.mydomain.com or 12346.mydomain.com it does not
work.
my wildcard alias in Apache won't go down to my Tomcat Host entry
 regardless it I use the default host or the specific host entry.
It only works if I add an Alias also in the Host entry of the server.xml but
this I can't do since I don't have control over all these dynamic
subdomains.
I'm totally clueless at this point...

Regards,
Mats
