Don't know that, I have just 3  virtual hosts

I left standard like this
www.xxxxxx.org ="xxxxxx.cfg"
Do you really need a separate directory to organize ?

I am not using cgi, so I can't comment on that, but for the rest, I used here the standard 
as well like
 [Server]
    Default1 = "xxxxx.htm"
    Default2 = "xxxxx.htm"
    Dir-script = ""
    Keep-alive = "1"
    Log-dir = "./logs/xxxxxxx"
    Webpages = "./webpages/xxxxxx"

The webpage directory is set to a relative path. I don't know if that will fix it, but 
do you have the chance to try this with say 1000 hosts ?
I know it will be a lot of work, but ....
