OK, this is an intranet application using JBOSS as the web server and application server on same physical box. &nbsp;JBOSS default install is on port 8080. &nbsp;There will also be a load balancer sitting in front of the two app servers. &nbsp;Just trying to figure out if installing on port 80 buys us anything besides not having to have the traffic redirected from port 80 to 8080. &nbsp;Thanks for your feedback.
