How does Tomcat on Mac OS X Server handle requests to different domain names?
I'm setting up a Mac OS X Server (10.5) machine, and that will include setting up Tomcat. The machine will be the host for at least two different domain names -- let's say myapp.example.com and myapp.anotherexample.com -- each of which will need to be hooked up to a different servlet. In other words, HTTP requests to http://myapp.example.com/ should get routed to the myappexample servlet, and HTTP requests to http://myapp.anotherexample.com/ should get routed to the myappanotherexample servlet.
How do I do this?
I've looked for a guide or tutorial but I haven't found anything. If you aren't sure how Mac OS X Server 10.5 works, that's okay; I'm willing to settle for a more general tutorial about setting up just the Tomcat side of things!

Thanks, André!
Mostly, now I think I have everything working, although I'm getting an InternalError exception upon a certain operation. I'll start a new thread for that.

I'm not sure what kind of distinction you're trying to get at here, so let me phrase what I need in another way.
I have brandedapp1.war and brandedapp2.war that I want to deploy to Tomcat.
brandedapp1 should respond to all requests sent to http://myapp.example.com/ and brandedapp2 should respond to all requests sent to http://myapp.anotherexample.com/
Assume that the DNS is already set up for myapp.example.com and myapp.anotherexample.com (i.e. both FQDNs point to my server's IP address)

Already done.

Can you describe this in more detail?

The machine will be the host for at least two different domain names --
let's say myapp.example.com
and myapp.anotherexample.com -- each of which will need to be hooked up
to a different servlet.
In other words, HTTP requests to http://myapp.example.com/ should get
routed to the
myappexample servlet, and HTTP requests to
http://myapp.anotherexample.com/ should get routed
to the myappanotherexample servlet.

Presumably by 'different servlet' you mean different 'web application
which contains one or more servlets'?
You'll need to configure DNS to point name records at the public IP
address of the server, and once you've done that configure Tomcat to
support Virtual Hosts.
Use the special name 'ROOT' for each application and it will serve
resource on the default path.

The tomcat.apache.org site has docs on how to do the Tomcat bit.
I don't think there's anything special you'll need to do to OSX.
