We used to a few years ago, but I had it changed because it caused us no end of problems.
Also storing vhsot in separate conf file is OK for couple of hundreddomains, but for a web hosting company having 1000 + domains on each server i guess separate file cause problem
This is correct, which is why i wonde rif any of these people using the 'debian way' of vhost per file have actually used it in REAL environments, and if so, have they tried it in one vhost.conf file and noticed the differences, ther 'deabian way' seems a good idea as you pointed out, if and only if you have a few hosts but when you have thousands as most hosting companies/ISP's-with-shared-hosting do, it would be have a performance impact.
If I get bored one day I might try it out on our dev box and see if there is any factual noticable impact as I suspect there would be.
in, 1) editing the separate files through scripts 2) graceful restart would also create a problem on the server
1 : no it wouldnt matter, you just create the vhost file or delete it and restart apache
2 : agreed, have found that to be the case in and up to 2.2.8 have not tried it with 2.2.9
