Thanx for that, that sets the header for me, but to something static.
Only problem I have is I can't seem to figure out how to set it to the hostname

a rule such as:

I must be missing something here.  Why would you want it to be "dynamic" ?

If you have several Tomcat instances as back-ends, then each one has its own webapps, and each one of these webapps has its own web.xml, which is where you configure its own urlrewrite filter. So what is the problem in having it static in there ?

Or, wait, is it purely because you would like to be able to always distribute the same identical web.xml to all instances ? That would then become a more generic issue like "how do I distribute the same war-file to several Tomcat instances, but have each instance pick up something instance-specific to include in its web.xml at load time ?"

Now, in this case I do believe that the urlrewrite filter uses a separate config file, in which maybe there is a way to specify something like that. Maybe then just that file would need to be instance-specific ?
