title: Apache http server one instance per Virtual host
body: <p>I was interested in working with apache http server based on next parameters:</p>
  
  <ol>
  <li>On a single server running listenin in one single port</li>
  <li>Having condigured several Virtualhosts, one per domain</li>
  <li>running each Virtualhost as an instance listening in por 80</li>
  <li>been able to reload one domain configuration without having to restart the rest. </li>
  </ol>
  
  <p>I have doubts about the memory consumption and if there's, how should i improve it.</p>
  
  <ul>
  <li><p>I don't think that would be a memory problem (correct me if I'm wrong) as soon as there's only one http server running?</p></li>
  <li><p>or maybe yes because each instance comsumes independent memory?</p></li>
  <li><p>should be same memory compsumption as running all the VirtuallHosts on the main apache config file?</p></li>
  </ul>
  
  <p>Many thanks, I mainly want to run one instance per domain because I want to be able to restart each VirtualHost configuration when is needed without having to restart the others.</p>
  
  <p>Thanx</p>
