The only downside is that this system is a bit heavy to fix 'on the fly' since so much is 'rendered' at configuration time but its a real life-saver in terms of generalizing a system over multiple platforms ( 6 in our case ).

Hey Jim --Also, Randal Schwartz wrote about cvs is a slightly more general setting:

The system we use goes a bit beyond even what Randal describes (although, he
is on a similar track).
In a nutshell, the Apache "httpd.conf" file is "templatized" to replace
elements such as the IP address, host name and path names with variables.
To start the server for a particular environment the developer runs a Perl
program which creates a custom "httpd.conf"
