I am in favour of making it easier to run several apache2 instances. However, I don't think that reusing the -available dirs is a good idea. After all the configuration in the *.conf and sites-enabled/* files will likely differ for the different instances.
BTW, my original idea was to support cp -a /etc/apache2 /etc/apache2-xyz cp -a /etc/init.d/apache2 /etc/init.d/apache2-xyz and make the new init script pick the right config dir automatically. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
