Problem summary
****************************************************************
* USERS AFFECTED: All users of WebSphere Application Server    *
*                 version 4.0.1 for z/OS and OS/390.           *
****************************************************************
* PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: No error message is displayed by        *
*                      WebSphere Application Server when       *
*                      multiple virtual host aliases are       *
*                      configured with the same host name and  *
*                      port number.                            *
****************************************************************
* RECOMMENDATION:                                              *
****************************************************************
WebSphere Application Server does not display an error message
when multiple virtual host aliases are configured with the same
host name and port number.  For example:

  host.default_host.alias=yourco.com:80
  host.myhost.alias=yourco.com:80

When a request is received for that host name and port number,
a 404 status code is returned to the browser.  WebSphere
Application Server should write an error message to the ncf
log during initialization if multiple virtual host aliases
are configured with the same host name and port number.
Problem conclusion
Changes are made to WebSphere Application Server such that the
servlet engine writes the following error message to the ncf log
when multiple virtual host aliases are configured with the same
host name and port number:

    Unsupported configuration: Virtual hosts <host_name1> and
    <host_name2> have the same alias <alias_name>:<port_number>
