apache configuration and mod_ssl

 Hello,

 We have some problem with the configuration of apache.

 We have a couple of virtual hosts (about 10), many of them which use 
ssl. We have been maintaining them for a couple of years, and although 
we can make them work, I don't like the way we do it now.

 As I understand, all virtual hosts configuration files should be in 
/etc/httpd/conf.d . The problem is that most of our virtual hosts use 
mod_ssl, and that ssl.conf is itself not loaded first. As such, every 
virtual host whose name is alphabetically before ssl.conf cannot use 
ssl, as the "Listen 443" directive is in ssl.conf. The solution we found 
was to move all virtual hosts in /etc/httpd/conf.d/vhosts/ . This works, 
but everytime a package as "subversion" gets updated, it creates a new 
file in /etc/httpd/conf.d/ , duplicating the virtual hosts and causing 
problems.

 What can we do to get things work, to be able to have standard packages 
updating themselves and to do things in a standard way? We use httpd 
2.2.2 (standard package) on fedora core 5.

 Regards,
