Will, Thanks - that may be the simplest solution. It just seems errors prone (i.e. updating one of the httpd.conf files, but not the other). Still its appealing for my situation. I am going to better check out the reference Ed sent in an earlier post - that seems to have some potential.

We have an alternate httpd.conf file for Apache that is configured to send everybody to "site down come back later" static site, then we simply bounce Apache with the new config. It's is not particularly subtle, but we're not a 24x7 site so much, and it's more to let folks coming in know what's happening. But it's simple and quick.
