Thanks Chuck,
I was able to find it and play with it a little bit. Pretty
self-explanatory once I figured out how to modify the tomcat-users.xml
file to get access to it.
It's a real bummer that it's not persistent, but it's still a great app.
Thanks for your help!

Subject: Re: Adding/removing hosts dynamically?
I'm extremely interested in this. Any chance anyone who has used this
before could provide some direction (example implementation)?
Try the HTML version of host-manager to get familiar with it:
http://localhost:8080/host-manager/html
Note that the updates made by the HTML and plain text servlets are not
persistent, so will be lost upon Tomcat restart. You'll need some additional
means to preserve the added hosts.
From the org/apache/catalina/manager/host/HostManagerServlet.java source code:
* Servlet that enables remote management of the virtual hosts installed
* on the server. Normally, this functionality will be protected by
* a security constraint in the web application deployment descriptor.
* However, this requirement can be relaxed during testing.
* <p>
* This servlet examines the value returned by <code>getPathInfo()</code>
* and related query parameters to determine what action is being requested.
* The following actions and parameters (starting after the servlet path)
* are supported:
* <ul>
* <li><b>/add?name={host-name}&aliases={host-aliases}&manager={manager}</b> -
* Create and add a new virtual host. The <code>host-name</code> attribute
* indicates the name of the new host. The <code>host-aliases</code>
* attribute is a comma separated list of the host alias names.
* The <code>manager</code> attribute is a boolean value indicating if the
* webapp manager will be installed in the newly created host (optional,
* false by default).</li>
* <li><b>/remove?name={host-name}</b> - Remove a virtual host.
* The <code>host-name</code> attribute indicates the name of the host.
* </li>
* <li><b>/list</b> - List the virtual hosts installed on the server.
* Each host will be listed with the following format
* <code>host-name#host-aliases</code>.</li>
* <li><b>/start?name={host-name}</b> - Start the virtual host.</li>
* <li><b>/stop?name={host-name}</b> - Stop the virtual host.</li>
* </ul>
* <p>
* <b>NOTE</b> - Attempting to stop or remove the host containing
* this servlet itself will not succeed. Therefore, this servlet should
* generally be deployed in a separate virtual host.
* <p>
Seems like the javadocs aren't currently installed on tomcat.apache.org, or I
would have directed you there.
