I think we must be at cross-purposes. I thought you were talking about
individual <VirtualHost></VirtualHost> sections. That would have been a
wonderful thing. Feasible too, perhaps. The Apache parent ("root"), could
prefork its children, one for each <VirtualHost></VirtualHost> running as
its own user (to which all requests for that vhost are handled).

It would certainly take care of a whole lot of security issues.
