This is the correct answer. It is a restart of apache, but it is done in
a way that clients will not notice at all.
As someone else mentioned, you should also look at mod_vhost_alias, which
allows vhosts to be added or subtracted on the fly simply by changing the
filesystem and DNS.

This should be the equivalent to a `kill -USR1 <PID>` on most platforms.
