It strikes me as odd that I can't find a FreeBSD port of the Jakarta Commons Daemon for use with Tomcat. I need to do virtual hosting for several web sites with Tomcat, so operation on port 80 is a must. Running Tomcat as root is not an option from a security point of view. Port forwarding with with IPFIREWALL is not an option because I don't want to muck with the firewall every time a site comes or goes. I've played with mod_jk and mod_jk2, but it's been a struggle to configure them and they didn't fare well under some load testing I did. So it seems like the commons daemon is the obvious choice for me. I know that the daemon source is installed as part of the Tomcat5 port, but it's been a struggle to get it running and I'm not there yet. Are my requirements and/or experiences that unusual? Advice appreciated. I may submit a port if there's interest from others and no good alternative. Thanks, Bob
