in our case we have a machine with multiple ip addresses and want to
run several instances on different ips but with the same control
ports.
it would be good to have the possibilty to configure the binding ip
like in the connector directive.

i know this solution but i think this one is not clean. we want to
keep the different instances completely independant from each other.
i have looked around a bit in the source code:
i think there must be changes in Server.java and StandardServer.java.
maybe this can be done until the final version will be released.

Although, you can't control what IP address it binds to, you can control
what port it listens on. I'm guessing the easiest solution to your problem
would be to just set each of the different Tomcat installations up to use a
different port? I think you basically, just need to change the following
line in server.xml.
<Server port="8005" shutdown="SHUTDOWN" debug="0">

I don't see a valid reason on why this should be done, while I see a
potential security hazard in binding on IPs != localhost.

Nope, it would not be... Because then people would play around with it, and
security is compromised... One day we'll remove that shutdown mechanism all
together....
