I'm definitely ignorant enought about Apache's internals to be able to
answer that question. And the following doesn't really answer your
question, but this is how we handle having a dynamic config while
still being able to see what it looks like. We use a template. We have
a wrapper script around Apache that queries the database and config
files and then starts Apache pointing to the generated conf file. This
gives us the benefit of a data driven config but we still get a real
config file out of it that we can inspect.
I suggested this when I started here, but we were already too committed
to PerlSections at that point. I don't think that that's likely to
change but it is an option to be considered though if we have to
refactor. If we were starting this now, I would definitely favor doing
it that way.
