Hi Mark,
I still haven't fixed the sample on the wiki and the workaround I found is not the definitive way to do it but may help you momentarily.

This is a geronimo-web.xml I just successfully tested in Geronimo v1.1.1 with a single web application, I tried the HelloWorld sample.

This plan defines a new virtual host, web container and a single web connector on port 8081. Since the virtual host is "mapped" to the same host name as the default host you are not seeing any particular benefit from the virtual host itself. This is not the prettiest way to configure it but it work for now ;-) 

I'll look for the right way to do it and then will update the sample on the wiki.
