Not sure I understand your requirements. Are you trying to implement multiple virtual hosts that are segregated by port number rather than DNS name? Your first option is not likely to work, since the port number is stripped off before comparison with the <Host> name is done. (Also, since the <Host> name is used as a directory name in the underlying file system, the colon won't be allowed on many platforms.) The first option would use less resources than the second one, but I think it would require that you write a <Valve> to forward each request to the proper <Host>. I think the second one will work without any additional coding (but I haven't tried it). - Chuck THIS COMMUNICATION MAY CONTAIN CONFIDENTIAL AND/OR OTHERWISE PROPRIETARY MATERIAL and is thus for use only by the intended recipient.
