I found this in the mail archives. http://mail-archives.apache.org/mod_mbox/httpd-users/200601.mbox/%3Ce498c1660601190620i664df153y2bbbbd8f7aa2a9d7@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx%3E "But the standard advice in cases like this is: httpd.conf is not a programming language, it is a config file. If you need more advanced features, then use your favorite preprocess (m4, etc) to generate your config files." This certainly applies to my situation, and I was thinking something similar. Still, the Apache httpd conf syntax is quite powerful, so my question still seemed worth asking.
