DO NOT REPLY [Bug 48774] New: DNS Aliasing breaks tomcat session management

https://issues.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=48774

           Summary: DNS Aliasing breaks tomcat session management
           Product: Tomcat 6
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: PC
        OS/Version: All
            Status: NEW
          Severity: enhancement
          Priority: P2
         Component: Catalina
        AssignedTo: dev@tomcat.apache.org
        ReportedBy: jroper2@gmail.com


One of the big problems that comet applications encounter is the 2 connection
limit of the HTTP specification, which some browsers (eg, IE6 and IE7) adhere
strictly to.  The most common approach to getting around this is DNS aliasing,
where a wildcard DNS record causing all requests for all subdomains of a host
to go to that host.  However, there is no way to configure what domain the
JSESSIONID gets set on, which is always set to the incoming host name.  This
completely breaks Tomcat session management when DNS aliasing is being used.

If tomcat is to support comet (which it does), this seems like a pretty major
hole in its support of it, considering most comet implementations use DNS
aliasing.
