yes, more important: ATS respects no-cache headers and <IfModule mod_expires.c>
works on <Directory>, <Location>, <VirtualHost> base too, so you can control it
very fine while ATS does not need to know anything about 
domains/folders/locations

i try to avoid any complexity on ATS because the httpd-configs are complex
enough for some hundret domains with all sorts of exceptions depending on
the application and the only thing i want to maintain on ATS is for which
domains it accepts connections (remap.config) and the dnsmasq-hosts-file
to make such nice things possible:

map http://domain1.example.com http://domain1.example.com
map http://domain2.example.com http://domain2.example.com

that makes no sense at the first view, but in my environment
"remap.config" is generated by a script calling our hosting
database and the same script generates "/etc/hosts.dnsmasq"

so ATS feels responsible for any domain hosted here and just works
the decision go to ATS or directly to the origin is made on the
public DNS, most sites do not need ATS because not enough traffic

my general intention for using ATS is in case of large-traffic-sites
have static files (images, css, javascript) "outsourced" and as much
as possible worker processes free for the php-sripts given that a
typical CMS request triggers a lot of static files requested

this way i avoid a multi-threaded MPM which would need a lot of
config changes in the complete infrastructure while prefork works
fine with a grown configuration
