I am very pleased to inform you that we are completing the migration of our WMS (http://www.cartociudad.es) to a WMS implemented with GeoServer. However I have a question regarding the URL of a WMS GeoServer. Until now, we have been working in the Intranet of our organisation, with URL like http://lnternal_IP/geoserver/wms?, but now that we are going to set up GeoServer in a production environment, in order to maintain the URL of the previous WMS, we would like to change the default “geoserver/wms?” to an already existing path. I would like to know if there would be any problem to change this and what would be affected by that.
The user interface may break when accessed through the public address, but the WMS service should not care.

We've implemented a simple webapp and database that combines some stylesheets with Apache proxying to produce Capabilities documents containing only those featureTypes or layers that we desire. It enables us to organize our large number of featureTypes (in the four digits now) howsoever we like, with GetCapabilities URLs like
This is really helpful to us in supplying neat "packages" of services for consumption by our various audiences. The clients consume the Capabilities docs and discover therein the appropriate base service address:

Interesting. For the record, in 1.7.3 there will be a new feature
allowing one to build capabilities listing only layers contained
in a specific namespace.
So another way to handle this will be to store layers in separate
namespaces, and then point clients to a caps link that does include
&namespace=xxx in the request.
Downside of this approach, you cannot share the same layer in
multiple caps documents (to get there we'll need a real separation
between the catalog and the service endpoints, something that
we're thinking about, but that's still missing sponsoring).

I guess you'll be forced to setup a proxy to get there.
For example, setup a proxy with Apache, and set the proxy base url in the geoserver configuration accordingly.
