Sounds like this is beyond the scope of Tomcat configuration, since
the hostname will be resolved by DNS at the client regardless of
what webserver is actually running on that host.
Assuming you have DNS issues already worked out though, you could
easily just redirect to the desired url by using some JavaScript in
a default HTML page on your host. Something like:
var loc = window.location.toString();
if (loc.indexOf("www.somedomain.com") != -1)
window.location = "http://www.somedomain.com/flexapp1";;
else if (loc.indexOf("ww2.somedomain.com") != -1)
window.location = "http://www.somedomain.com/flexapp2";;
else if (loc.indexOf("ww3.somedomain.com") != -1)
window.location = "http://www.somedomain.com/flexapp3";;
You'll have other issues even with this approach, though; domain
names might be entered by the user in mixed case, or the IP address
might be used instead of the hostname, and probably many others.
