One small problem with this is that the "siteX.include" file is included 
in the "siteX" file before the end of the <VirtualHost> declaration. 
Apache does not let you nest one VirtualHost inside another.

The solution is to move the

	Include /etc/httpd/conf/vhosts/siteX.include

after the </VirtualHost> line though, of course, the siteX file will get 
overwritten by the GUI and you're back to the beginning again.

Of course, you also have to configure the server to listen to the extra 
IP addresses manually and not have those changes overwritten by the GUI 
as well.

All a very minor issue as we're just doing this for as long as it takes 
DNS to propagate a new IP address then the site in question goes back to 
a "normal" single IP address configuration.
