running multiple tomcat instances per system

Hi Folks,

I've been poking around docs/readmes and couldn't find any reference to
running multiple tomcat instances per host.  Is this something the packages
support?  Is there a recommended workaround?

So far I've been copying the /usr/share/tomcat5.5 tree to
/usr/share/tomcat5.5_2 and duplicating init scripts, log dirs, symlinks,
etc.

I understand that setting up multiple tomcats per system is common in the
Java world, so I wondered if there was a more package friendly way of doing
this before I start my own custom solution here using the upstream tomcat
tarball.

Cheers,
