Problem summary

• ****************************************************************
  * USERS AFFECTED:  All users of WebSphere Virtual Enterprise   *
  *                  Version 7 using the multi-cell function     *
  ****************************************************************
  * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: Virtual Enterprise routes to the        *
  *                      wrong virtual host when multiple        *
  *                      cells share a common host name.         *
  ****************************************************************
  * RECOMMENDATION:                                              *
  ****************************************************************
  In a multi-cell environment where multiple cells share the
  same host name, Virtual Enterprise might route to the wrong
  virtual host. This behavior results in issues, such as
  matching the wrong routing policy, 404 errors, or dropping
  sessions.
  

Problem conclusion

• Virtual Enterprise now routes to the correct virtual host in a
  multi-cell environment.
  

Temporary fix

• In a multi-cell environment, use a unique name for each virtual
  host.
