Yeah, I tried a trimmed down version of apache and things got weird.
I'm using the pre-built apache server that installs with debian's
apt-get util. I suspect that there may be issues with how it is built.
e.g. It seemed to ignore some of the directives I set in the trimmed
down config file  config file, like DocumentRoot - It kept serving up
/var/www which is where the document root for the  "normal" apache
daemon (out of the box).

Anyway, I concluded (perhaps prematurely) that:

1) I can build apache myself the way I want and make
everything work. Then  I won't be able to be lazy and
type "apt-get upgrade" when I want a new version of apache.
I'll have to actually do something.

-or-

2)  I can just use the stock apache daemon for the home network
and find a different "minimal" web sever that is "orthoganal" to
apache for the "Internet" and continue being lazy regarding my
apache daemon.

I wonder, is there a way to tell apache to use a different document root
depending on the port? That would be cool way for sorting it out.
