Virtual Host with Different IP Address
I'm kind of new to this, so try to hear me out... I am running tomcat on two
separate machines. Each server has a different application running on it.
Through my web browser, one server is accessed by domain mydomain.com, and
the other doesn't have a domain name, so I can only access it via the ip
address. I would like to know if tomcat can create a virtual host (or some
other solution) on the server with mydomain.com so that the other server can
run as a subdomain. For clarification, see the following:
Now:
server1 - mydomain.com
server2 - 123.123.123.123
End result:
server1 - mydomain.com
server2 - sub.mydomain.com
Thank you for your help, I look forward to learning and participating in
these discussions.

Then your system needs a DNS entry.

The site needs to be available to all of the internet.

The question is: Do you want
sub.mydomain.com
to be visible to the entire internet, or are you only interested in accessing
that system from your own personal browser. In the latter case, you don't have
to get involved with dealing with godaddy. As Matt suggested earlier, you
only have to put the line
123.123.123.123 sub.mydomain.com
into the hosts file on the machine running your browser. On *nix systems,
this is usually /etc/hosts, and on windows, it is typically
C:\Windows\System32\Dirvers\Etc\Hosts

If it's only for your personal use, put the name in your hosts file. Or
run your own name server.
The point is that *your client browser* needs a way to resolve the
name "sub.mydomain.com" to an IP address. This is not something
that Tomcat is in any way involved in.

Who owns the netblock where this currently nameless IP resides?
It sounds to me like a little "independent study" on DNS would be a
good investment of your time :-)

Re: Virtual Host with Different IP Address

You could run both apps under the same domain but still on different hosts, such that:
app1 is at mydomain.com
app2 is at mydomain.com/app2
If you run tomcat behind apache httpd this is pretty simple to set up (via mod_proxy_ajp or mod_jk or ... )
For sub.mydomain.com you need to make a DNS change as Brian says. Alternatively, you could place the following line in your /etc/hosts file:
123.123.123.123 sub.mydomain.com
The only problem there is convincing everyone else in the world to do so as well :p

This is not a Tomcat issue, this is a DNS issue.
Assign sub.mydomain.com to 123.123.123.123.
