Greg,
Is the paying customer thing dynamic? or do you know who and how many at any one
time? I don't have any experience with clustering, so I'll be answering this
question with one server in mind.
It sounds like you want each customer to access a different copy of the same
web-app, under the same root URL (www.ourdomain.com). Maybe someone else on this
list might have a better idea to solve this with filters (I don't have any
experience with those, either, so I'm just guessing about that), but what you
could do is have multiple <application> lines in your server.xml, corresponding
to multiple <web-app application> lines in your web-site.xml, and mount each one
on a different directory (ie customer1, customer2, ... customerN) but point them
all to the same .war file or codebase.

>domain name?
yes.
I hope this helps, and if anyone else on this list has more input regarding
differences in a clustered environment or a more elegant solution with filters,
please chime in.
