the way i do such things is this:  write a config.0 file with everything in
it except the "Server {}" part.  with a shell/python/ruby/smalltalk/lua-
script i write the constant config.0 first and append the few lines that
have to change on each call.  this takes no editing at all.

example:

#!/bin/sh
# script
{
IP="$1"
cat config.0
cat << eeooff
"Server {
        Port 80
        Virtual {
                Host $IP
                Control {
                        Alias /
                        Location /usr/local/www
                        Specials {
                                CGI { * }
                        }
                }
        }
}"
eeooff
} | mathopd

to be called as script $ipnumber
