I don't think that Tomcat can do that without some hacking.
I think that you may be able to accomplish what you need by doing a little
redirecting.
You might be able to use a filter to parse and redirect the request to the
base domain.
Or use the default host as a catch all and the redirect the request to the
desired domain.
I am sure there are some on the list that can help with the code as I have
not messed with filters or redirects enough to give you any solid code. One
source for the code is Tomcat itself, as it has to do this with the request
in the first place. In your case you are just handling it a little
differently.
And of course there is always the chance that I am FOS and someone will come
up with a better solution.

Subject: Re: Configure multiple number of aliases / sub-domains
Hi Tom,
Thanks again for the answer. BUT my problem is not the
hosts file. That works fine. My issue is as follows:
I have multiple hosts (as in TOMCAT HOSTS) running on
the server. Each is mapped to a different context/
application. I need to be able to map ALL subdomains
to the same application as the www. subdomain.
Currently I have in the server.xml file:
<host name="domain.com">
<alias>www.domain.com</alias>
<alias>xx1.domain.com</alias>
<alias>xx2.domain.com</alias>
</host>
It is not practical to have a list of all subdomains
(which in this case are aliases) in the server.xml
file as they are dynamically created and deleted.
Looking forward,
Assaf

The Hosts file is hold-over from the pre-DNS method
of finding IP
addresses. Basically, there's a file - 'Hosts' -
that holds addresses,
in the format:
domain_name ip_address eg
myhost.co.uk 123.45.123.45
At one time this was the only way that machines on
the Internet knew the
addresses of other machines, and a new Hosts file
would be circulated
(by email) to all the sysadmins who managed
connected hosts. (Google for
'Jonathan Postel' if you want to know more about
these early days.)
Obviously, DNS has replaced all this, except that
Hosts remains - in a
Windows system you'll find it in:
[windir]\System32\Drivers\Etc
In Linux/Unix I think it's still in /etc ; I
remember frantically
editing /etc/hosts on many systems in the past!
So this is all a part of server-name resolution
within networking, not
Tomcat.
