[users@httpd] Our own variables in httpd.conf

[Rajeev Rajan <rr...@qualcomm.com>]

Is it possible to create and use our own variables in the httpd.conf ?

i.e. I wish to create a variable say, myIPAddr, which I can set in the 
httpd.conf file in the beginning....and in other constructs like 
NameVirtualHost,  <VirtualHost ..> etc, I can reference it.

Otherwise, if my machine migrates to another network, and gets a new IP, I 
need to do a find and replace with the new IP address in the entire httpd.conf.

Thanks in advance,
Rajeev

Not natively afaik, although I believe you can use perl in your apache 
config files if you have mod_perl loaded.  See the mod_perl site for
more info:

http://perl.apache.org/

There's also a module called 'mod_macro' that allows you to define
macros and then use them throughout the configuration file.  The only
link I have to mod_macro is:

messes up the threading :P
