Hi Daniel,

I have the same problem -- wanting to alias more than one host name to a
single context. Unfortunately, there is no way to do this. I've heard that
the 4.0 version of Tomcat may have some abilities for doing this, but it's
not nearly as straightforward as Apache's ServerAlias directive.

For now, I've turned off zzz.net (using your example) in my DNS and am only
serving www.zzz.net. I do a lot of connection pooling and other shared
resources, so I can't afford to have 2 versions of all my contexts running
at the same time. This is a totally unsatisfactory solution, but it's my
only choice for the moment.

Thanks,
--jeff
