Hi Steve,
If you must be able to pull this site up by it's IP Address, then you must
not be VHosting any other domains on this IP. Is that correct?
If so, you should be using IP-based VHosting instead of Name-based. IP-based
VHosting will associate one IP with one domain name. Tomcat shouldn't have a
problem once it's set up this way.
Check out:
http://httpd.apache.org/docs/vhosts/ip-based.html
Thanks,
