Remote Host Filter does not allow wild-card

           Summary: Remote Host Filter does not allow wild-card
           Product: Tomcat 4
           Version: 4.1.18
          Platform: Sun
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: NEW
          Severity: Normal
          Priority: Other
         Component: Unknown
        AssignedTo: tomcat-dev@jakarta.apache.org
        ReportedBy: paul.ramirez@jpl.nasa.gov


According to the documentation the following is permitted:

  <Valve className="org.apache.catalina.valves.RemoteHostValve"
         allow="*.mycompany.com,www.yourcompany.com"/>

However, in practice Tomcat will not startup properly when you specify a wild 
card characeter in this regular expression. You can however just 
put "mycompany.com" in the allow field to allow only connections with the 
domain "mycompany.com". Therefore, I'm not sure whether or not Tomcat is 
supposed to support the wild card character.
