virtual server listen socket
n SUN Webserver6.1, Listen socket(port) 80, 8080, and 8888 are
enabled. But after created some virtual servers, I would like to
dedicate port 8080 to one virtual server and port 8888 to another one.
But it seems that I cannot do this. Even in the server.xml file I saw
that port 8080 is only used by one virtual server, but this virtual
server still response to port 8888. Just wonder why? or say can I setup
that one virtue server is only response to one por and how?
Another question is: in the SUN Webserver 6.1 documentation, it says "
if you want to create a listen socket for IP-address-based virtual
servers, the IP address must be 0.0.0.0, ANY, any or INADDR_ANY,
meaning it listens on all IP address on that port."
Does that mean in an IP-based virutal server, cannot use a specific IP
when creating a listen socket? I am a bit confusing here. IP base
virtual server is that you need to specifiy an IP when creating listen
socket, isn't it?
Thanks for advice!

You can define virtuals in your server.xml file manually. You can have one virtual listening to one or many ports(LS) and you can have several virtuals listening to the same port. And you can assign IP address to virtual as well.
For example with YourServerIP listening to 4 ports you can do the following:
<LS id="ls1" ip="YourServerIP" port="8088" security="off" servername="YourServerName" defaultvs="YourDefaultVS"/>
<LS id="ls2" ip="YourServerIP" port="8089" security="off" servername="YourServerName" defaultvs="YourDefaultVS"/>
<LS id="ls3" ip="YourServerIP" port="8080" security="off" servername="YourServerName" defaultvs="VS3"/>
<LS id="ls4" ip="YourServerIP" port="80" security="off" servername="YourServerName" defaultvs="VS5"/>
...

Hope it helps.
