Computer 1: You don't want to have the same multicast address. this address is what decides group membership. There is no point in two contexts from two different virtual host to be part of the same group, it will do nothing but cause over head. So give each virtual host their own mcast address. Now since all virtual hosts are on the same computer, you would want to set different tcpListenPort attributes as a port can only be used by one server socket on a machine.

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?
