Ok, not an expert on Servlet's or JSP.

Understood.

What do you mean you need to specify different IP addresses for the web links? Aren't the web links relative to the web-site?

Dilemma? Not really. Specifying the SID for Oracle, I can see that. Why don't you give your web server's the same name? And work on them that way? Then you are using a similar system to Oracle, giving something a name when in reality it points to a different IP?

Maybe you could explain a little further?
