Yes, it is ignored. > The entire discussion is about what happens with > useIPVHosts set to true! Not entirely; it's also about the merits of setting it to true, and when it's advisable or necessary to do so. > It seems that on the one hand, you are saying that with > useIPVHosts=true, the IP address determines how to process, > but that the host header string also controls. No, I'm saying that setting useIPVHosts to true precludes the use of multiple domains that resolve to the same IP address. > Remember, this discussion all started with trying to figure > out how useIPVHosts is supposed to work. No, it started with how to get IP-based virtual hosting to work. > Please provide a detailed description of how Tomcat function with > useIPVHosts set to "true", or provide a link which does. I still think the existing wording is sufficient: "Set this attribute to true to cause Tomcat to use the IP address that the request was received on to determine the Host to send the request to." However, I presume you'd like additional wording to the effect that the symbolic form of the IP address must be configured as the <Host> name or an <Alias> thereof. - Chuck THIS COMMUNICATION MAY CONTAIN CONFIDENTIAL AND/OR OTHERWISE PROPRIETARY MATERIAL and is thus for use only by the intended recipient.
