I save all the virtualhost variables in a mysql table, each time its updated I rebuild the httpd.conf from the data in the table. That way all that reg expression stuff isnt so hard. although i still use it to place the virtualhosts in one block. Then each domain can be added,edited,deleted from a web form and my customers can do it themselves and not hassle me.
