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.

Subject: HTTP listening ports and URL questions
Sent by: "MIDRANGE-L" <midrange-l-bounces@xxxxxxxxxxxx>
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
