> As far as I can tell, each Virtual Host takes up 2 file descriptors (one 
> for error_log and one for access_log), so when your system runs out of 
> file descriptors, you are at your max on Virtual Hosts.  If you give all 
> of your Virtual Hosts identical log names, the server will open a 
> different copy of the file for each Host you have declared.
