    Oh, OK... Isn't it a viable alternative to run apache with -f config,
    with another config file...? I thought that would be the most elegant
    path to take, but I have no clue on how to implement it practically, so
    perhaps you're right.

    OK, I have some hints for using yet another Apache instance to do that,
    I'll probably look into that.

    Thanks!
