We do this at the LCB too and yes it works fine with the firewall. You will want apache2 as a front-end to your tomcat(s). You can choose to connect to several workers on a single tomcat instance or connect to several instances on different ports.
The apache2-tomcat setup is fairly simple using mod_proxy_ajp, basically you just need to activate the module and add the following to your virtual host: ProxyPass /base2 ajp://localhost:8009/base2 ProxyPass /base2dev ajp://localhost:8019/base2dev Adjusting of course for local paths and tomcat ports (each tomcat instance uses four ports I believe). /Emil 3 apr 2008 kl. 12.54 skrev Jari Häkkinen: > You only need port 80 (I think, see more below), the different servers > are connected through different directories: > > http://base2.thep.lu.se/demo > http://base2.thep.lu.se/base2 > > To get this going is simply creating a proper apache/tomcat connector > configuration, and setting up tomcat.
