This is what I was thinking I could do. Because right now I have to run 
Tomcat with IIS until I get all the ASP.NET stuff moved over. Then I 
plan on shutting down IIS and having Tomcat and OpenCMS in it's place. 
Then I could map the /opencms so all the links are not broken. My end 
goal is to have Tomcat and OpenCMS running the whole site on a Linux 
server.
