Others have already correctly steered you towards templates for this sort
of thing, but I have one aside...

Just like to point out that, unless you have specific reason for binding
apache only to one interface, it's perfectly acceptable to throw wildcards
in to these declarations (ie. software virtual hosting versus hardware). It
has the added effect of simplifying configurations (though, as I hinted at
previously, there may be other security related implications or similar
that prevents you from doing this sort of thing).
