Yep - that's why I mentioned that as the "favorable" solution hehe - I 
guess I should have clearified.  Whereas you've probably (had the joy of 
having) implemented this, I just read about it.  Hey, by the way, Craig 
- have you followed my struggle at all?  How would _you_ suggest I 
implement http/https and redirects back and forth under Tomcat + Apache 
+ mod_jk?  I'd love a tip or two =)  I trust your word a great deal.

Thanks,

Eddie
