invaluable resource.

Press), explain how to configure Apache the way you want and improve
Apache's performance.
Chapter 3 of Apache: The Definitive Guide , by
Ben Laurie and Peter Laurie (O'Reilly), talks
extensively about the Apache configuration process.

mod_macro
is a module that allows the definition and use of macros within
Apache runtime configuration files. The syntax is a natural extension
to Apache HTML-like configuration style. It's very
useful if you have to configure many sections (e.g., when you have
many virtual hosts) and haven't learned about
<Perl> sections yet.
mod_macro is available from https://www.cri.ensmp.fr/~coelho/mod_macro/ .
