If the util site is going to be part of the main site, why don't you put it
in the www folder? ie. /htdocs/www/util/ the idea for different site
roots is so that you can keep different sites separate.
If you had the root as /htdocs/ for all, then the website address would
be: http://www.yourdomain.com/www/index.php or wat eva.. not very nice..
