It doesn't make any sense to use that directive inside <virtualhost>
because, for example, the Host: header necessary to determine the virtual
host is one of the things that will be limited.

Perhaps if you mentioned exactly what problem you are trying to solve, we
could be of more help.  LimitRequestBody is designed only to help prevent
denial of service attacks, so it makes sense to apply it to the whole
server, not a particular host.
