I will give this a try and confirm.

For me it causes a number of showstoppers, the first is that we can't automate the creation of the mailing lists in our environment, where running a command is easy but editing a shared system config file is hard. Over and above that we are forced to host the sites on separate virtual hosts, which in turn requires multiple digital certificates for us instead of just one. It also adds significant complexity to our environment, instead of keeping life simple for us.

I chose the VIRTUAL_HOST_OVERVIEW flag because it was already there and it seemed a sensible alignment, but I could change it to add an additional flag to control this.

Graham
