re-direct to local machine without shown ip address

[JAVA Rookie]

Hi, I am working on a intranet app, and when I re-direct user's request to
another local machine which has tomcat installed, how can I avoid users can see
http://192.168.x.x in their url?
And how can I put, for example, like http://local-apps.com instead.
which file(s) I need to modify?
Thanks.

Check out mod_jk2 if the front-end server is apache.

a simpler way is just to put the app in a frameset

Take a look at the java.net.InetAddress class (use the static
getByName(String) method and then its getHostName() method).

This assumes that both your server and the client have access to the same
DNS entries (i.e. ip-addresses can be properly resolved to their
user-readable host-names).

Something (Tomcat) needs to pass a Location: HTTP header in the
response.
