Servlets and Virtual Hosts

Hi, thanks for what appears to be a great product!  It is difficult to
adminster for newbies, yes, but the advantage in flexibility is worth it
so far.

I bumped into something strange when using servlets with virtual hosts.
Let's say my real host is "www.host.com" and I've configured a virtual
host "virtual.host.com", and I have a servlet at
"http://virtual.host.com/servlet/helloworld".

If I do a normal POST or GET request to this servlet from a web client
things work fine, but if try to access it from a SSInclude tag instead
then it ignores the virtual host and looks for
http://www.host.com/servlet/helloworld.

So the question is - how do I access a servlet from a virtual host via
ssincludes?

Another completely unrelated newbie question now that I'm at it: is it
possible to set up servlet aliases?  For example setting up so that all
requests beginning with "http://www.xyz.com/weather/" are forwarded to a
weather forecast servlet, including the trailing path and any arguments.

Cheers,

/Henrik
