Off the top of my head, there are two simple ways to do this. The first is to generate your httpd.conf using a template and database. I've done this using Template Toolkit, and it worked great. This also works for servers that don't have mod_perl, like proxy servers. The other way would be to write a PerlTransHandler to look at all incoming requests and then decide how to handle them based on your database info. This is better if you need to be able to update it without restarting apache. - Perrin
