Yes - I get that part.

Low priority - but I'll look at it.

This is where I get lost. I currently have two virtual hosts on apache
pointing at the same virtual host on tomcat ALL with different names - so
this doesn't square with what you are saying of there being a one to one
mapping.
This server is running linux, with two ethernet cards. On the WAN side (which
is what you can see) my ISP allocated via dhcp a single IP address. That is
the www.chandlerfamily.org.uk address. On the lan side, I can allocate
multiple IP addresses to the card in a set of "psuedo devices", so at the
moment it has address 192.168.0.20 and 192.168.0.30, 31, 32 and 39. Each of
these is given separate names such as roo.home, appserv.home, webmail.home
money.home and test.home by a nameserver also running on that machine
On apache I have a number of virtual hosts set up (but because of the https
problem they MUST be differenciated by ip address). At the moment I have the
virtual hosts www.chandlerfamily.org.uk and money.home directing traffic to
tomcat on the host appserv.home (the home page you saw was being generated in
a java application).
I want to add a tomcat host to serve java applications to an apache virtual
host running on test.home. If I understand you correctly you would advocate
creating additional <host> elements of my server.xml file with names of
www.chandlerfamily.org.uk and test.home (I presume I have to keep default
host of appserv.home just so that tomcat knows which ip address to listen
on). If I do that how do I pick up traffic to money.home? add another <host>
statement with repeated contexts?
