yes, I have thought through all those actually. Was just talking about urlrewrite filter and apache this morning. Issue with that then is having to keep their company name in a param of every single redirect seam does which is not the easiest of things to do....that way, company could be put in front <company>.domain.com.
I like the ip idea(except for needing two tomcats). Two services in tomcat doesn't work as then we would need different ports which is definintely not something we want. I decided I am going to go the route of finding that Host matching code which probably looks up in a map of domain to Host object to route request to the Host/Engine(*which file is that in so I can jump to it?*), and just loop through it instead with endsWith. *hmmm, too bad there is not a pluggable component to Service or something or whoever owns the lookup like in server.xml lookupClass="com.alvazan.tomcat.LookupHost" or something*? I could certainly provide a patch so people could plug into tomcat what they like based on performance considerations...ie. endsWith loop is not the best if you have 400 domains on one tomcat.
