What's the advantage of using a bunch of conf files, one for each virtual host, over just putting blocks for them in httpd-vhosts.conf with corresponding entries in /etc/hosts ?
Or does using the separate conf files mean I don't have to list each virtual host again in /etc/hosts ? (The "good news" about apache server is allowing so many ways to do things; the "bad news" is the same thing!)
