Hey, Ron.  It's me again.  :-)  (No, I promise that I'm not hiding at every
possible Internet endpoint, waiting to ambush you.)

Over at open.collab.net, I just asked if you had given ViewVC's vhost
support a try.  Sounds like maybe you have not.

To use the ViewVC vhost support, you'll need to do a few things:

1.  Define the vhost names for each of your virtual servers:

    [vhosts]
    client1 = client1.mydomain.com
    client2 = client2.mydomain.com
    ...

    This creates the opportunity to do override ViewVC configuration values
    on a per-vhost basis.

2.  Start doing that overriding.  You do this by creating configuration
    sections named "vhost-VHOSTNAME/CONFIGSECTION".  So, for example, if you
    wanted to change the set of repositories available via each virtual
    host, you might do:

    [vhost-client1/general]
    root_parents = /path/to/Client_1 : svn

    [vhost-client2/general]
    root_parents = /path/to/Client_2 : svn

    Each of these tells ViewVC, "When serving up via vhost "client1" (for
    example), ignore the value of "root_parents" found under the [general]
    configuration section, and use the one from [vhost-client1/general]
    instead.  Any values you do not override in a per-vhost section are
    taken from the top-level configuration sections ([general], [options],
    etc.)
