Why not stand-up another httpd on another server, then switch the DNS mapping to the "new" web server, then take the old one out of service after DNS has had a chance to propagate? That way there is zero downtime, and your users don't have to use a different URL to access your applications. -chris --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: users-unsubscr...@tomcat.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: users-h...@tomcat.apache.org
