That piece is known, but for webapps and the like, some people bookmark,
some people remember.. I think a good overall suggestion is to utilize
different Host elements with each mapping at the root of that Host to
the specified webapp rather than using the webapps as virtual
directories under a single host element....
This posting is more for others who may experience / have the same
questions as me:
For those of you familiar with IIS and host header virtual web's, tomcat
may be configured as such:
<Host name="somewebapp.yourdomain.com" appBase="webapps">
<Alias>someotherwebappalias.yourdomain.com</Alias>
<Context cachingAllowed="true" docBase="YourWar.war" path="">
</Context>
</Host>
This would respond to the root levels of (case-insensitve for the
fqdn's):
somewebapp.yourdomain.com
someotherwebappalias.yourdomain.com

Well, in general, users aren't expected to remember URLs. Hostnames are
case-insensitive, and that's typically all you're ever expected to
remember. Just type in "www.google.com" and you'll get google.
Everything else is just bookmarks, right?
If a user happens to "remember" a URL and types is in correctly, there's
no expectation that the site will magically figure out what they wanted
to type.
