But... where do I actually specify the entityID value?  I don't see anywhere to put it.  This should definitely be clarified in these docs, preferably with an example.

You don't specify the entity ID value for the DynamicHTTPMetadataProvider, it's implicitly the entity ID of the SP that the IdP is looking for metadata for. So it will change from one request to the next, dynamically.

If you want to have it periodically pull metadata for a specific entity ID, you might be looking for an HTTPMetadataProvider (sorry, no V3 docs for that yet but you can use the V2 docs for that[1]).
