It will make startup and restarts slower and will increase the memory usage somewhat. There will also be some effect on run-time performance, but it probably won't be too big. What exactly is it about the vhost config that is too complicated for dynamic vhosts? Some things can be worked around using mod_rewrite instead of mod_vhost_alias. > > 2.

That's because if the error page isn't on the same server that actually has the error, the server must send a redirect to the client. Therefore if you want to deliver the proper response code, the error page must be in the namespace of the server with the error. If that is a problem, you can use ProxyPass to bring a document from the Master Server into the namespace of the other servers.
