Right. That is the best way for a relatively small number of vhosts. For
a large number of vhosts, see:

As far as I know this is not possible.

The closest you can come is by doing a graceful restart.
This will restart apache (which re-reads httpd.conf) without
breaking any current connections.

graceful restart can be done with the apachectl script:
%%>apachectl graceful

HTH..

It can be done, last place I worked we did it using mod rewrite. The
vhost were maped to a text file and any changes to the text file would
be picked up by apache automatically, no restart needed.
