RE: HTTP listening ports and URL questions

["Steinmetz, Paul" <PSteinmetz@xxxxxxxxxx>]

I'm assuming these additional IPs will all be virtual IPS.

1) Should these new virtual IPs be on the same VLAN as the physicals?
2) If there is a choice of a physical IP to bind to any suggestions on which to choose?
3) Must also contact security guy to add new firewall rules for the new IPs?

Here it involves sacrificing two doves and an unblemished young ram to the network administrator and asking him for another IP address.
Once you have that you can add it one of two ways

Add TCP/IP Interface (ADDTCPIFC)
Start TCP/IP Interface (STRTCPIFC)

CFGTCP
1. Work with TCP/IP interfaces

Currently, I have two IPs, each physical, on each LPAR.
What would be required to set up additional IPs, which would only be used 
for HTTP listening ports.

I don't even pretend to be a web expert on TV but we use the multiple IP 
address solution.  We tend to "bind specific" and not bind to all IP 
addresses.

I have some questions related to HTTP listening ports and URLs.
I have a current instance listening on port 443, all IPS.

I have a new app going live that we prefer to listen on port 443. It can 
listen on a different port, but I've been told that if 443 is not used, 
then we must include the port number in the URL.
We would like to have the new app keep the same URL as the old current 
app, which is listening on port 80.

So my issue is that I will have two http apps listening on port 443.
Options.
1) Create one http instance for both, using virtual host. The problem with 

this option is that when one app needs to be shutdown, we don't wish to 
shut down the other app.
2) Have both apps listen on 443, two http instances, different IPs. I'm 
leaning towards this solution.
3) Are there others?



Thank You
