Hi Dan, Thanks for the response. So I can have different IP's for the same physical server how would the client and the router handle that? I have a static address for my server on the lan and I redirect my request for port 80 to that IP. What decides the IP to send a request to the web server versus the Tomcat servlet container? Sounds good but I am trying to sort through the details for that configuration. Also, I am already sending requests to Tomcat via mod_jk in Apache so not sure what the advantages are of proxy_ajp. Many Thanks, -Tony --- Dan_Mitton@xxxxxxxxxxxxx wrote: > Tony, > > The only way to have two services use/listen on the > same port is to use > two different IP addresses, one for each.
