Also, using a templating system with a scripting language (say, erb + ruby
or whatever you're comfortable with) or the good old m4 may be viable, and
probably simpler to use and implement. This is very easy and very convenient
if you have to generate lots of different configurations (say, for n virtual
hosts, or n virtual hosts on n servers) but which all share a limited number
of prototype configurations.
