It would be really nice if the next verion of Tomcat could dispense with putting hosts in the server.xml file as well. They already have a directory structure in place...
Right now, for my high-volume hosting I have a startup script that generates a server.xml on the fly. The reason I have to do this is because the host-manager application doesn't write new hosts to the server.xml (and if it did, it would probably restart them all anyhow). It would be nice if tomcat and host-manager would write a host.xml to the conf/<engine name>/host_name directory.
