As far as tomcat working using virtual hosts goes, I don't see that it would
affect whether you're using DNS A records, CNAME's, or even local host file
lookups on the client... The server makes the decision on which virtual host to
use based on the host: header that the client (Browser) sends in the
HTTP request. The browser gets that literally from the URL. It shouldn't be
making any lookups to resolve it except when openeing the TCP stream to the
server...
As long as your browser is supplying the host: header from your URL that you type
in, then the engine (As documented in the server.xml file) will examinme the host
header to determine which host to send it to. If the host doesn't exist, I think
it uses the default virtual host...
