or Joshua's "virtual" keyword on <Location >, which I like better the more I think about it.
ooops... s/Joshua/André/
but Joshua has excellent points about "virtualness" being a property of the handler. Yes, the server-status handler should know that it is virtual, but the handler hook is too late to skip the directory walk. But the mod_status maintainers (i.e. us) know that mod_status is virtual, so maybe it could tell the core earlier somehow. An earlier hook? preferably something at config time since the virtualness doesn't ever change?
