My suggestion is for you to place the common things in both vhosts in
a file, e.g., my_common_config.conf and do an include in each vhost:

server_1.mysite.net.conf
server_2.mysite.net.conf

You can try this script for enabling each site and disabling using the
sites_enabled/sites-available layout.
