Does the dnsmanager have a choice for redirection of an URL? If not: If the URL is pointed to an IP it will not change on its own. You could set up an app under a host of myapp.net and do a redirect to .com yourself. Or I think you can do the rewrite of the URL from a jsp welcome page of myapp.

Re: apache + tomcat with 2 domains but same session?

Re: new Host without restarting Tomcat

I may be incorrect, but in all I have read, the server.xml is only read once, during Tomcat startup. This is the reason for the context.xml fragment files which can be read and loaded without a restart. So the answer is it can't be done at this point. To the best of my knowledge.
