What I do is setup a config directory with all my config files. Then use a
model file and change the log location and host name in each one for each
virtual site. There is a perl script (awstats_updateall.pl) that comes
with awstats in the tools directory that will read all the config files in
your directory and post the data to one big data dump. I just cron that
out to run right before logrotate does it's thing with apache's logs. Then
on apache I setup a alias for the stats directory, icons, etc.. and from
the URL it will read the seperate data/config files for awstats based on
the site when the user runs awstats.pl.
Here is the tool

With a working configuration it is a simple cp and quick edit job for each
virtual host. You can easily script the process out if you have a 'whole
lot' of hosts.
