Exactly! I'm not making ANY virtualhost entries in httpd.conf files. I
don't want to make 65000 VirtualHost entries that create server_recs that
suck up so many resources that there isn't much left over for serving. I am
already get the URI translation going where I want without any problems
through my own mechanism. I'm completely past the translation issue. Now,
I *simply* need to be able to set the document_root var for user CGI
processes. I'm playing with some stuff at the Fixup stage now. I'll let
you know if I get it going, so far it's just ignoring the variable when it's
set.
The setting of the DOCUMENT_ROOT var is *strictly* for CGI's only at this
point. Everything else is happy except the CGI's that use this var to make
decisions on file locations (which is very understandable).

Hmm...
Then you need an a pre-sorted structure to map from hostname -> /.../htdocs
...
If you can't map from SERVER_NAME or HTTP_HOST name to the htdocs path then
I have no idea.
A thought ... how are you getting all 65000 entries into the httpd.conf
file?
