Seriously: skip the extra Hosts, skip the Aliases, just use the defaultHost. I have a private label system in production right now that does exactly this. The Filter checks the domain name is suitable, looks up a config object and drops it into the request attributes for use on the page. There is only one Host defined, without a bunch of extra Aliases - it relies on the defaultHost. It also means that you don't need to restart the server for each additional subdomain. p > I'm going to go ahead define separate hosts, although the <Alias> option > mentioned might work, I don't know if it would preserve correctly the value > returned by request.getLocalName() which is what I'm using for determining > the host specific content, but if someone knows better than say so.
