This is correct, sorry (bad rectangular copy).

I'm using name based virtual hosting and found a solution to my first
problem by putting a VirtualHost in where the ServerName is the IP
address of the machine, and pointing the DocumentRoot to the manual
directory.
<VirtualHost *:80>
        DocumentRoot /opt/apps/apache2/manual
        ServerName 192.168.0.109
</VirtualHost>
(This works for me, since I'll only be accessing it through the local network)

I wanted to use mod_rewrite to avoid having to edit the httpd.conf and
server.xml files whenever I wanted to add another host, but since
there won't be more than 3 or 4, this will be fine. :)

Thank you for the advice regarding multiple instances of Tomcat, this
is a great idea and I will read the documentation on it, but if there
are any pointers anyone has they'd be greatly appreciated.

One last question, I recently tried to use Apache 2.2.3, and found
that mod_jk wouldn't compile against it, has anyone had similar
issues? I'm happy with Apache 2.0, but thought I'd ask.

Thanks again,
Eric
