TOmcat Engine Issue with netscaler

[Vivek Singh <vs...@gmail.com>]

Hi I have an issue with running netscaler with HTTP connetor on 8080.

Before the netscaler arrived, I had an apache setup with mod _jk to talk to
the two tomcat <HOST> below 10.7.0.62 and 10.7.0.63 using 8009 connector(
Listed is the server.xml of the tomcat box with 10.7.0.61 as primary
interface), the Engine defaulthost was 10.7.0.63, and all was working
smooth.

Now, I created two new <Hosts> on tomcat of the same two applications above
- 10.7.0.62 and 10.7.0.63 ( As I did not wanted to disturb the existing
flow, till I get the netscaler working)

The two new hosts below are 10.7.0.58 ( same application as 10.7.0.63) and
10.7.0.66 ( same applicatioin as 10.7.0.62), I also brought upto virtual
interfaces for them on eth0:1 and eth0:2 with ips 10.7.0.58 and 10.7.0.66. I
also changed the defaulthost in the engine to 10.7.0.66.

Now the connection between netscaler and tomcats works fine but both
applications follow the defaulthost listed under Engine defaulthost which is
10.7.0.66, if I change that to 10.7.0.58, they go to 10.7.0.58. In
otherwords, they follow whatever is in defaulthost.

Please tell me what I am doing wrong here.
