The purpose of create resources is not to replace define, but rather
to declare resource from a hash. This is typically used to work around
ENC limitation of class only so you can provide a hash to generate
resources for a node.

So if you use create resource, instead of the section above would be:
$vhost = { 'drupal-multisite1' => { domain => 'com', ... } }
create_resource ("apache::vhost", $vhost)
It would not change your existing define apache::vhost.
