My expectation is that database connections do not have any correlation with the listening port: Technically, DB connection pools can be shared across all contained Hosts and Connectors /within a single tomcat/, and when multiple processes are added to the game, it doesn't really change anything. In fact, it's not uncommon that there's a public facing network adapter, where a http-connector listens, but a completely different network adapter for any backend communication - e.g. to the database. All that I expect a database driver to do is to specify where it wants to connect to, and the OS figures out how that connection needs to be routed. That's utterly independent of any http connection that comes in to the same process. So: Don't expect any correlation, and you're safe. (Note: There /may/ be ways to configure a db-driver to specify a source address, but I'd expect that rather to add a potential failure rather than anything that I'd want to control. If you interpret such a situation differently: Please elaborate) Best, Olaf --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: users-unsubscr...@tomcat.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: users-h...@tomcat.apache.org
