I haven't even got Virtual Servers to work yet, even after following the
multitude of examples on this and the Newb list, I'll be happy if I can
just get some momentum going on this.

So what you are saying is the the Apache config is useless? On their
docs page they seem to say otherwise...

I don't have many pages to edit, so adding it to each and every page
would be a simple matter of copy and paste.

Good to know tho, thanks!
