I guess the post_config hook should be your friend here.

Subject: Defining mandatory parameters for Apache modules
Hello,
The Apache web server on start up iterates through the list of
configuration directives and invokes the associated module handler for each
directive.
For e.g. if module A has handlers for directives D1 and D2, then the
httpd process on start up will invoke the handlers within module A when it
encounters D1 and D2 in httpd.conf.
However, what is the best way to find out missing mandatory parameters
from within the module. For e.g. if a directive D3 is mandatory for the module
to work, then how can the module on initialization guarantee that this
configuration parameter is provided?
I do not want to provide a default value for this mandatory
configuration directive and also, I do not want to check whether this mandatory
directive is defined or not while handling each request.
Thanks in advance,
Best regards,
Raj Iyer
