So I understand: No extra rc.d script is added. You want to be able to
add an extra rc.d script for each website you host. Basically all the
script allows is start/stop/restart/poll.
Will you need to use the rc.d script often to restart or poll?
If it is just mainly for starting, I think just adding the extra
lines to /etc/rc.local would be simpler and more understandable.
One concern is that later the rc.d script may be updated, and then your
symlinks pointing to it may not work correctly.
I am guessing the patch would sit in gnats for a long time, unless some
a similar examples exists or some compelling reason for it.
I do use this httpd for a few years on multiple systems, but I don't
run multiple instances.
