Thanks Rasmus. If there's no clean way to do it, PHP is probably better off
without it right now. I hope you'll have at it again some time when you have
a moment.

Also thanks to Adam for his post on mod_vhost_alias. I'm aware of the module
Adam, but it's not as flexible as PerlSections, which can be used to
configure almost any aspect of the Apache server. This is particularly
useful when dealing with hosting "plans" or even custom-configured hosting
solutions. The client's VirtualHost config can be pulled from a relational
database, which can of course be linked to the client themselves, and
billing, etc.

An intriguing concept that follows on from this is the storage of client
configurations on a central database server. This would be very useful for a
medium-large web hosting facility that wishes to offer custom configurations
instead of plain ol' plans. Security would naturally be a concern, but if
communications between machines were secured correctly, it should be quite
interesting to play with on a machine running freeVSD.
