In one (new) config file, you "Include" the other files.
Then you run that one new config.
(or split half the load into each of two new files....etc....)
Logically, it sucks in all the included configs, and builds one big one in 
memory, and runs that. Beware global settings!

I do not RunAsDaemon, but use MrDaemon to fire up the config every 5 mins. 
Then changes to individual config files are sucked in automatically.

A structured config approach lends itself very nicely to upgrading to 
Routers2.cgi and RRD.
