Yes, it is fully supported. If you want to use a name instead of an IP address to access your web applications, you will need to do one of the following:
1) setup DNS for the name you want to use 2) setup a record in the hosts file on your computer, and on every computer that needs to access your web application How to setup DNS and/or how to setup a hosts record isn't related to Tomcat.
