Tomcat - Binding to an IP address dynamically

[ranjitm82]

Hi,

I am using Tomcat version 5.5.23.
I have a requirement which says that Tomcat should bind to a particular IP
when it is accessible.

The IP will not be available when Tomcat starts up but still configured in server.xml.

Currently I do a stop/start of Tomcat to bind to the IP when it becomes accessible.

But Is there any way by which I can bind tomcat to the partcular IP without stop/start of tomcat.

Is it possible to bind tomcat to this IP dynamically.

Could you please help me out, my server.xml looks like,

<Connector port="4085" address="test1.logical" acceptCount="10"
connectionTimeout="30000" debug="0"
disableUploadTimeout="true" enableLookups="false"
maxSpareThreads="75" maxThreads="150" minSpareThreads="25"
/>

test1.logical is the ip address which will not be available all the time.

Please suggest your thoughts.
