Not currently.  The CRL list is read at startup, and handed off to the 
TrustStore.

Actually, just the Connector needs to be restarted (so Tomcat in your case).

Not currently.  Tomcat just takes a single file at the moment.

To avoid bouncing the Connector, it would require a specialized CertStore 
implementation.  Neither "Collection" or "LDAP" (which Tomcat doesn't 
currently support either :) really do what you want.

All of the CRL code is in o.a.t.u.net.jsse.JSSE15SocketFactory (found under 
connectors/util in the source distro).  Knock yourself out ;-).
