Yep, I noticed that.

Problem occurred when we had in server 1:
    <Engine name="Catalina" defaultHost="private-tomcat1"
jvmRoute="route1">
and in server 2:
    <Engine name="Catalina" defaultHost="private-tomcat2"
jvmRoute="route2">

I tested and noticed If both servers have same defaultHost like "localhost"
or "foobar" it seems to work without logged warning or errors (as long as
the same
name is used in the Host element, ie:
  <Host name="foobar" appBase="webapps"
      ......
  </Host>

So, maybe my question is that is there any harm if I use random,
non-existing names as defaultHost for Engine?
For what it is used for? Other than "mapping engine to some host element"
and apparently it used somehow to identify cluster members?

And thanks for you're reply.

Regards,
Ossi
