Apache 1.3.3
using name virtual hosts

(1) as per apache documentation, vhosts seem to inherit certain information
    from the "main_server" configuration (that is, outside of <VirtualHost>
    clauses).  particularly, according to
    http://www.apache.org/docs/vhosts/details.html

	If a vhost has no ServerAdmin, ResourceConfig, AccessConfig, Timeout,
 	KeepAliveTimeout, KeepAlive, MaxKeepAliveRequests, or
        SendBufferSize directive then the respective value is inherited from
 	the main_server. (That is, inherited from whatever the final setting
 	of that value is in the main_server.)

(2) by trial and error, i figured out that vhosts will inherit ScriptAlias
    directives, but will need per-host rewrite directives.

I was not able to find anywhere in documentation a clear definition of what
IS and IS NOT inherited by vhosts from the "main_server" configuration.  Is
anybody aware of such info?

thanks,
