..the instance of Tomcat I have running on an OS X box works fine
without that. I just have the default host as 'localhost', and I access
it from other systems as 'http://hostname/' -- here's the exact
entry from server.xml:

<Engine name="Catalina" defaultHost="localhost">
   <Host name="localhost" appBase="/www" />
</Engine>

If you can `ping host2` from host1, it should just work.

FWIW,
