Hi Sampath,
I'm not sure if there are issues in Tomcat 3.2.3 and
virtual hosting.
I do know some work was done in Tomcat 3.3 to better support
this. I haven't tried port based virtual hosting but after a
quick scan your configuration, it looks like it should work.
I would suggest you give 3.3b2 or the Tomcat 3.3 nightly
a try if you can.
Cheers,
Larry
