Thanks. You point out two things: (1) how to specify which IPs to listen on, and (2) how to associate a context with a host, where the host name is the URI pointing to the webapp.
In Microsoft IIS, you bind an IP to each virtual host, and its the DNS servers job to point you to the right IP, based upon the URL lookup. In your suggestion with Tomcat I see how you are suggesting to bind IPs to Tomcat, but how does Tomcat then make the leap to binding those Ips to the correct virtual Host? Also, I read in the provided link (thanks for that, btw) that you can assign multiple contexts to each host, and multiple hosts to an enginer. I presume Tomcat is the engine, and that a host is essentially a Virtual Host, correct? How/why would one then have multiple contexts per a single host? Is it just me or is the Tomcat documentation a little lacking in this area?
