Hi, I searched the archives, but did not find exactly what I was lookign for. Here is my situation: I need to do Java work from home. I am using Tomcat 4 b-5 on Linux RH 7.1 and need to set up virtual hosts from a single machine with multiple JVM running so that I need to restart I just restart what I am working on, and not my own webserver. Let's say I own "www.foo.com", I need for: 1._ everything that looks like <whatever>.foo.com to be directed to my site. Example: prefix: Would go to: "projects.sillyshop.13.foo.com" "sillyshop" virtual machine version 13 "projects.sillyshop.foo.com" "sillyshop" virtual machine most current (, latest) version "projects.veryimportant.404.foo.com" "veryimportant" virtual machine and with this setup I would have three JVM running (/ Tomcat instances?) in my server, namely, "foo.com" 's, "sillyshop.13.foo.com" 's and "projects.veryimportant.404.foo.com" 's 2._ Be able to restrict from where people are getting to my host and in case, there are people that do not belong to a certain IP range, silently redirect them to my own site, "www.foo.com". This way you can protect confidentiallity. Only people that are coming from certain places, can see/participate on what they are supposed to. Now, my questions: How do you do this, and please, notice that I want/need to you use one running JVM for each project? What should my ISP do to redirect all "<whatever>.foo.com" traffic to my site? What about if clients need for me to develop/test also mail, ftp servers, ... how would redirections work in this case? Security isues? Could I use ipchains to route the request to servers other than Tomcat? Any other issues that I am not aware of? Any references, links, etc? I don't want to run any chances to mess it up with other projects, so that is why I will run multiple JVM, but what is your experience?
