Thanks for the quick response - Sorry, I should have included this the first time around: each site is completely deployed with the content outside of the tomcat directory - that is: C:/sites/site1/ROOT/WEB-INF/classes/... C:/sites/site1/ROOT/META-INF/... C:/sites/site1/ROOT/index.jsp C:/sites/site1/ROOT/someDir/index.jsp Nothing is in the conf/Catalina directory for any of my sites, so I'm not sure how to go about the first option. I think if I try the second option, creating aliases for each site instead of individual hosts, I won't be able to run the site-specific servlets - is that correct? After reading your email, I suppose it makes more sense for all the sites to share the .war file, as opposed to having one running instance, however my sites aren't deployed through tomcat, so I don't have any config info in conf/Catalina/[host]/[appName].xml...
