The mod_rewrite httpd module can do this I expect. I'm sure that would work, but you don't have to install Apache to do what Praveen wants to do. Tomcat provides "Virtal Host" functionality that does exactly what Praveen wants to do. Praveen, I suggest you start by reading the Tomcat documentation _for your version of Tomcat_ about Virtual Hosts. The following link is for Tomcat 5.5 - if you're not using Tomcat 5.5, look up the equivalent page for your version: http://tomcat.apache.org/tomcat-5.5-doc/config/host.html If you have any specific problems after reading that, feel free to post them back to the list.
