Re: [WEB400] Multiple web instances assistance and comments

Steve,

        The short answer is yes.  You can use Multi-home or Virtual IP the 
addresses and then bind them to the instances
that you want them to use.  Reference 
http://publib-b.boulder.ibm.com/Redbooks.nsf/RedpieceAbstracts/sg246718.html?Open

        Then of course you have DNS, Firewall, and depending on Subnets, 
routing considerations for each IP/Instance...

        The biggest concern I would think will be user training...  If you 
do this the DNS portion of the URL Changes so now

        you will have http://appl1.myhost.com
                           http://app2.myhost.com
                       http://app3.myhost.com  Ect.....

        Of course you can handle some of this with Redirects/Rewrites in a 
default http://www.myhost.com

        JMS...
