Jason:
Scott Tatum has a page on virtual hosting. I think it is very informative.
http://www.worldcom.com/main.phtml?grph=1
I am not sure if he still can be reached at:
[EMAIL PROTECTED]
These are the subjects that he addressed at one time:
1. Introduction
> 2. Virtual Hosting Options
> 2.1 Tomcat Standalone
> 2.2 Tomcat with Apache
> 2.2.1 Apache + Single Tomcat Instance
> 2.2.2 Apache + Multiple Tomcat Instances
> 2.4 AJP12 vs. AJP13
> 2.5 General Do's and Dont's
> 3. Configuring Tomcat Standalone
> 3.1 Configuration Files Involved
> 3.2 Modifying server.xml
> 4. Configuring Tomcat + Single Tomcat Instance
> 4.1 Configuration Files Involved
> 4.2 Configuring server.xml
> 4.3 Configuring workers.properties
> 4.4 Configuring uriworkermap.properties
> 4.5 Configuring mod_jk.conf
> 4.6 Testing and Troubleshooting
> 5. Configuring Tomcat + Multiple Tomcat Instances
> 4.1 Configuration Files Involved
