I thought Demon used thttpd for their customers subdomains, not
apache. They may be using an adapted version (the Dutch branch still
ran thttpd 1.0 when I last looked), of which your mod is somehow a
child, of course.
Thttpd uses much less resources, both in memory and cpu. I can really
recommend it. Some ISPs seem to use it as a special pics servers to
get the load of their apache.
As for virtual hosting with thttpd, it is dead simple. All you need is
a "-v" when starting it, and subdirectories for the virtual hosts in
the main server data directory, plus symbolic links, if you want both
www.domain.com and domain.com to work.
And it does throttling...
