IIRC Tomcat is a standalone program, not a plugin for apache. This means tomcat needs to listen on port 80 in order to serve http requests, and this is exactly the port where apache wants to listen on (and apparently is listening on, if all this mass virtual hosting is actually working). So I think it is not possible to have apache serve requests to http://somesite1.com and tomcat requests for http://somesite2.com (although there might be a workaround with bridged networking etc). The easiest solution I see is letting tomcat run on port 81 (for instance), and tell apache to redirect any requests for http://www.tomcatsite.com/ to http://www.tomcatsite.com:81/, which tomcat will then serve (probably in a manner similar to the one you defined in apache). Hope I made it somewhat clearer... Dan
