You would be better off using paths that are relative to the context
root. There are many tools that will do this form you in JSPs or
whatever template language you may be using to generate content.

Check out the RUNNING.txt file that ships with Tomcat. Read the
"Advanced Configuration - Multiple Tomcat Instances" section; it should
help a lot.

The only thing you have to remember to do is to set the ports for each
instance's <Connector> elements and make sure you don't get confused.

I have this exact same setup in dev, test, demo, and prod (with the
addition of Apache httpd and mod_jk, too), so I should be able to answer
any questions you have.
