Just covering the basics here.  We don't do anything fancy here, unless you
count pointing 2 virtuals to the same directory with separate logs and
occasionally a "Type" or "Handler" addition.

Whoops!  Missed a "like" in there ie "stored just like the TranferLog"  My
point was it sounded like the are being mailed (sent to).  Just trying to
clarify.

True, but it is a matter of style.  ;-)

Apache decided to separate them, that's all.

FWIW, Stronghold combines the 3 (httpd.conf, srm.conf, access.conf) into
one starting with 1.3.1 and then there is no longer a ssl_conf directory.
Much neater and easier to deal with.
