Hi Björn - Look in tomcat/conf at the server.xml, you'd just define multiple host entries, one host entry would have a name of "alice.example.com" the other with "bob.example.com". Each host entry would also have its own appBase (alice-webapps & bob-webapps), meaning both sites could be deployed using ROOT.war. Update the DNS for alice and bob to point at the server your consolidated tomcat is on. Inside tomcat/conf/Catalina/ I'm pretty sure you're going to need a directory for each host with that hosts config ROOT.xml etc). We use Apache HTTPD to proxy to our Tomcats and we terminate SSL at HTTPD so I'm not exactly sure on your SSL questions. Our SSL is configured through Apache HTTPD Virtual Hosts. Maybe you want to look into the cost for a wildcard SSL cert that would cover *.example.com rather than specific hosts?
