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.
