After spending few hours dealing with tomcat4, I found that it tries to bind to the localhost for unknown reasons.
Nowadays, software writers tend to think that the loopback device is a "safe" way for inter-process communication. I'm wondering how easy would it be to redirect binds and connections to the localhost (127.0.0.1) to the server IP address instead (or, alternative, to have a per-context localhost address which will allow a seamless operation of such software).
