I also forgot to mention. In this setup, there is only one instance of
OpenBD running, so the admin/configuration is for all sites collectively.
What I have done before to access it from outside the immediate server to
to setup another host for it.
<Host name="bluedragon.local" appBase="webapps">
<Context path="" docBase="C:\openbd\tomcat\webapps\ROOT" />
</Host>
In this case, going to bludragon.local:8888/bluedragon/administrator will
get me there. You can also setup an Alias to reference from true URL like
openbd.[host].com and then have IIS just forward that.
