Tomcat 5.5 manager question.

["William C. Mount" <Mo...@cat.com>]

Hello All,
   I'm in the process of setting up an environment and need a little help.



Here's the story.



2 webserver boxes in network A.

2 app server boxes in network B. 

Firewall between them.


I have apache running on the webserver boxes using mod_jk to talk ajp to 
the app servers.  all is well with the world.


I'd like to be able to access the manager application per JVM.    My first 
thought was this:

install a webserver on each of the app server boxes.  us mod_proxy to do 
something like:

proxypass /JVM1/manager/html 
http://appserverbox.mydomain.com:11500/manager/html
proxypass /JVM2/manager/html 
http://appserverbox.mydomain.com:11501/manager/html

This isn't working.  Since I changed the URI of the manager app, it's 
really not happy.


Does anyone have any tips/tricks on an easy way to access multiple manager 
consoles from a single location?

Accessiblity is the problem,  I can only directly access port 80 and 443 
from my client, so I have to somehow proxy the http transport agent to get 
access to the consoles.

Thanks,
