Right now I'm running tomcat with 40 some virtual hosts without using Apache. Throwing in the additional configuration/complication issue of dealing with Apache isn't my preferred route.
It would be a lot simpler to add regex support to the aliases function of tomcat. If worst comes to worse, I'll just make an alias for the various hosts. It's probably going to top at at around 6-10 anyway. George Sexton MH Software, Inc. http://www.mhsoftware.com/ Voice: 303 438 9585 > -----Original Message----- > From: Robert r.
