I think it would be best to have a wiki page that lists the problems
you are trying to solve and also possible pitfalls that have to be
taken into account. Then it is easier to check if a proposed solution
would solve the problems while not breaking anything else.
One of the pitfalls is apache2-suexec. It has the document root
compiled in and doesn't allow more than one document root.
