We use this setup and are very happy about it. I searched the apache
CVS trees, found the (rather small!) diff that implements this, and
backported it to the 1.3.9 that's in potato. Works like a charm.

Only thing: remember NOT to leave temp/backup files in that directory,
as EVERY file is read as a config file...

While on the vhosting subject: how do you guys handle the maximum open
file descriptor's limit in apache? Do you give every vhost two
separate logfiles or not? If you do, have you run into the maximum
file descriptors issue or not?
