Hi,
Thanks for your reply :)
ProxyPreserveHost On is in the httpd config, and it does preserve URL
rewrites where the URL is recognisable as such to Apache. The problem
occurs when the TomCat instance completely rewrites the URL by looking
at things like the hostname of the server it's running on and passing
that in as part of the data (e.g. a link embedded in a dynamically
generated web page.) It's these types of links that Apache cannot
possibly discover or rewrite.

This sounds like exactly what I need to do. Can you point me in the
right direction regarding how I might do this? One TomCat instance will
always be for one customer, so the customername can be set as a global
parameter, in, e.g. the server.xml file.
I've partially worked around the problem by deploying apps in a
/webapps/customername/appname/foo type directory structure under
TomCat, but that's a bit of a hack and I suspect there's an easier, more
graceful way. Is there?
Best regards,
