I am running Apache 2 with Tomcat 5.5. Both are working fine and hosting about 200 domain names. The problem is that every time a new domain is added I have to edit server.xml file and restart tomcat. With Apache I am using RewriteMap files so I just edit those files and no need to restart it. I wanted to run it by you guys and see if anyone tried using Rewrite to avoid setting up virtual hosts in Tomcat server.xml file. Basically have Rewrite conditions in Apache say"
user1.com rewrite to localhost/user1 user25.com rewrite to localhost/user25
This way Tomcat doesn't have to be setup with all those virtual domain names. Any idea how to do it? Of course I would not want the URL to change in the browser address bar so the rewrite would have to be internal only.
