My guess would be, if all they will be are single page sites, to use a very
simple httpd.conf and don't use the GUI.

<VIRTUALHOST xxx.xxx.x.xx>
     ServerName whatever.com
     ServerAlias whatever.com www.whatever.com
     ServerAdmin admin@xxxxxxxxxxxx
     DocumentRoot /home/sites/site#/web
</VIRTUALHOST>

Or even direct them all to separate sub-directories on one single domain.
DocumentRoot /home/sites/site#/web/site Then they can share a /cgi-bin
directory.

Depending on what you're going to charge for these, it might be worth it to
put all 150 on their own RAQ.
