Clustering and Virtual Hosts

[Leonard Sitongia]

Hi,
The server.xml in Tomcat 5 has <Cluster> inside of <Host>.
Right now, I'm running one host in the Tomcat configuration on each of 
two computers.  server.xml in tomcat running on a computer named c1 has 
a <Host> named c1, and computer c2 has a host named c2.

I'm planning to create several virtual hosts that will be clustered 
across two computers.  The virtual hosts, of course, have the same IP 
address.

Can I simply duplicate the <Cluster> definition in each of the <Host> 
sections in the multiple virtual hosts that I define in each computer?  
In other words:

Computer 1:
<Host name="vhost1" ... >
        <Cluster ... >
        </Cluster>
<Host>
<Host name="vhost2" ... >
        <Cluster ... >
        </Cluster>
<Host>
Computer 2:
<Host name="vhost1" ... >
        <Cluster ... >
        </Cluster>
<Host>
<Host name="vhost2" ... >
        <Cluster ... >
        </Cluster>
<Host>
Where all the information in the <Cluster/> element is the same for 
each virtual host on each computer.

Seems like I end up with four virtual hosts that are all talking on the 
same TCP and multicast connections.

Do I need to define a different tcpListenAddress / tcpListenPort for 
each virtual host?

Thanks for your help!
