Hi Mark, An earlier e-mail mentioned using Tomcat 3.2.2 standalone. I believe for Tomcat 3.x, the standalone HTTP service doesn't currently support virtual hosts. Requests on the HTTP port (8080 by default) always go to the default host. Virtual hosts are useful when connecting to an external web server, primarily Apache.
I haven't tried it, but from I can glean from the server.xml, Tomcat 4.x does support virtual hosts in stand-alone.
