I think a standard solution to this is to
associate each virtual host server to a
different port and have the main apache
redirect to the port.  Inetd makes sure
that the vserver apache instance only
stays alive while it's needed.  It might be
complicated to set up, but it works.
Again, something like this is probably
advisable anyway to limit the ways one
vserver can damage another generally
speaking.
