host headers only work with HTTP 1.1 - but that shouldn't be a problem with most browsers today.

Actually, I have 3 websites/domain names that point to my static IP address
and I'd like to use JSP & Struts on all 3. Right now, I'm trying to get 1
to work then I'll go with the others.

I have set up Tomcat as a 'web farm'.
Basically, it does not matter whos DNS nameserver www.mycompany.com is
registered with, as long as the ip address that nameserver resolves it to is
the ip of the machine you have tomcat/yourapp on. You do not need to run
your own nameservers.
What matters is:
ping www.mycompany.com
pinging www.mycompany.com [xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx] with 32 blah blah
- If the xxx is the ip of machine you have tomcat on, you are good to go.
The host containers are useful so that you can run virtual ips/domains. If
you only have one domain, don't worry about it. I run one linux box with
many different (virtual) ips, which resolve to different domains. The host
container serves the correct servlets for the right domain.
Does your box have a static ip?

-----Original Message----- From: John Ruffin [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, March 19, 2003 2:32 PM To: 'Tomcat Users List' Subject: Virtual Host - IIS and DNS
TC 4.1.18, W2K Server, IIS 5
I have a question about this (copied from the TC docs):
The Host element represents a virtual host, which is an association of a
network name for a server (such as "www.mycompany.com" with the particular
server on which Catalina is running. In order to be effective, this name
must be registered in the Domain Name Service (DNS) server that manages the
Internet domain you belong to
My question is: Why does www.mycompany.com have to be registered in the
"DNS server" that manages the Internet domain I belong to.
In my limited knowledge, I was thinking that as long as www.mycompany.com
points to my webserver - DNS could be hosted on any DNS server. Therefore
any request that comes to www.mycompany.com/webappname would resolve and
forward to TC.
Now, since my ISP hosts my DNS and I have TC running on the box will, www.mycompany.com/webappname not work unless I host my own DNS?
<background> localhost/webappname works can get www.mycompany.com/webappname to work - I get a 500 error in Explorer in the logs I don't see any errors - isapi.dll seems to be using my worker from worker.properties - yes, I looked in the IIS logs too - can't determine what's causing this. </background>
