Tomcat looking for document bases that don't exist

Hi,

I have added an additional <Host> to server.xml, with its own appBase, and
servicing several domains by way of <Alias> elements.  When Tomcat is
restarted, Catalina logs errors relating to not finding document bases. 
These match applications running on my default "localhost" <Host>.

Why is Tomcat looking for them again under my secondary "blog.optomus.com"
<Host>?  And, why is Tomcat also looking for 'manager' and 'host-manager'
here?  Only one application is located at /home/roller/application -
'ROOT'.

**server.xml**

<Engine name="Catalina" defaultHost="localhost">
  <Host name="localhost"  appBase="webapps"
    unpackWARs="true" autoDeploy="true"
    xmlValidation="false" xmlNamespaceAware="false">
  </Host>
  <Host name="blog.optomus.com" appBase="/home/roller/application"
    unpackWARs="true" autoDeploy="true"
    xmlValidation="false" xmlNamespaceAware="false">
    <Alias>blog.bread.co.nz</Alias>
    <Alias>blog.capereinga.co.nz</Alias>
    <Alias>blog.doubtlessbay.co</Alias>
    <Alias>blog.christopher.net.nz</Alias>
    <Alias>blog.isaac.net.nz</Alias>
  </Host>
</Engine>
