nonsense - in your ip-up script (or some dhcp script or something for
cable), just put something like this:


 myip=$4  # for ip-up, `hostname -i` or something otherwise

 sed "s/@nospam.MYIP@nospam./$myip/g" \
   < /etc/apache/httpd.conf.orig > /etc/apache/httpd.conf

 /etc/init.d/apache/reload


and httpd.conf.orig is just a copy, with @nospam.MYIP@nospam. instead of any
specific ip address
