To make this configuration work you need to ensure that Geronimo can resolve the virtual host name you are about to define. Depending on your network configuration you can add an entry to you DNS, an alias to the Geronimo server IP. Alternatively you can add an entry to the local host table, each operating system has it's its own way to define a local host table. For example Windows will have %SystemRoot%\system32\drivers\etc\hosts, UNIX based operating systems would normally have an /etc/hosts.

...

Now you need to define those virtual hosts in Geronimo's config.xml so it that Geronimo can recognize them. This section provides two different virtual hosts host definitions, that is creating two new HostGBean ( TomcatVirtualHost1 and TomcatVirtualHost2 ) in the Geronimo configuration, one of those which will have multiple host names aliases. The goal of this example is to have an application listening on a single virtual host ( this will be virtualhost1.com ) and another application listening on a different virtual host ( this will be virtualhost2.com ) with two additional aliases ( this will be virtualhost3.com and virtualhost4.com ).

Open the config.xml file located in the <geronimo_home>/var directory and look for the following line <module name="org.apache.geronimo.configs/tomcat6/2.1/car">. This is the beginning of the Tomcat configuration module, all . All the additional virtual host configuration will be done immediately after this line.

At this point you have successfully configured two different virtual hosts in Geronimo. Make sure you save the changes to the config.xml file and start Geronimo.

For additional reference, this is an excerpt from config.xml of the entire <module name="org.apache.geronimo.configs/tomcat6/2.1/car"> entry with the two HostGBean already defined.
