Local fix Problem summary
****************************************************************
* USERS AFFECTED: WebSphere Application Server installations   *
*                 with multiple virtual host entries per       *
*                 webserver.                                   *
****************************************************************
* PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: User is requesting the ability          *
*                      to enter partial virtual host entries   *
*                      using wildcards.                        *

* RECOMMENDATION:                                              *
****************************************************************
WebSphere currently supports wildcard entries to handle
all virtual hosts (ie *:80).  Customer is requesting the
ability to expand this wild carding to handle partial
virtual host matching (ie www.mySite*.com:80 or
www.mySite.*:80).
Problem conclusion
Changed the matching algorithm to search for partial pattern
virtual host entries in addition to standard virtual host
entries.
