Type configs.

I can very easily extract this information from a database.

Or you could use Apache::Dispatch, or you could put them in a simple text file, or you could use mod_macro. I'm sure it would work to put them in DBI (although you'd better close that connection before Apache forks!), but then you have a bunch of config data that can only be changed by messing with SQL and can no longer be easilly viewed, diffed, versioned, etc.
