Binding to multiple IP address, but not to localhost on TomCat 4. x

I am trying to get tomcat 4.x to bind on the same port on different ip
addresses on the same box, but not on localhost.  Here is my problem.  I
have a Solaris 8 server with an IP of 10.10.10.1 and alias IP's of
10.10.10.2 and 10.10.10.3.  I have 2 apps that I want to run as separate
tomcat instances and listen on the same port, one on ip 10.10.10.2 and one
on 10.10.10.3.  When I start the first app it binds to 10.10.10.2, but also
binds to localhost (10.10.10.1).  When I start the second app, it binds to
10.10.10.3, but fails with address in use because it tries to bind to
localhost which app one already incorrectly grabbed.  I have my address
parameter set to the aliased ip's in the server.xml files and there is no
reference to localhost.  Is there a way to stop tomcat from binding to
localhost in addition to the specified ip?

Thanks,
