Marsden, et.al;
This may be of interest to you.
"Offering virtual mail services"
"To provide virtual mail service for the new virtual hosts you add,you have 
to modify the "newdomain.zone" file and add one or more appropriate MX 
record(s). For example,say that your mail server is "mail.domain.com" and it 
is configured to accept mail for "newdomain.com". In such a case,you can 
modify the /var/named/newdomain.zone to be altered as follows:
 @ IN SOA
  mewdomain.com.( hostmaster.newdomain.com
    200011201002  ;  Serial  YYYYMMDDXXX
    7200                   ;  refresh
    3600                   ;  (1 hour) retry
    1728000             ;  ( 20 days) expire
     3600)                 ;  (1 hr) minimum ttl

; Name Servers
  IN NS    ns1.domain.com.
  IN NS    ns2.domain.com.
  IN MX   10 mail.domain.com.

; CNAME for name-based virtual hosting
www.mewdomain.com   IN CNAME www.mewdomain.com

Note that if you have multiple mail servers you can add them using a simple 
priority scheme.For example,say that you want all mail for "newdomain.com" 
to go to mail.domain.com and if this mail server is unavailable,you want to 
use "bkupmail.domain.com. " You can simply add a second MX record as shown 
here:

IN MX 10 mail.domain.com
IN MX  20 bkupmail.domain.com
The lower number in front of "mail.domain.com " makes it a higher priority 
mail server tha bkupmail.domain.com
Make sure you have configured your mail server software to support virtual 
mail domains."
Hope the info. is relevent, stumbled across it in my notes.

Have any ideas getting ScriptAlias and Alias to bring up  files outside 
Apache2?
