Umm, I'm confused. On the one hand you want to parse .html files. On the
other, you worry about Apache having too big a load on the server if it
does?

You can put in a .htaccess file with:

AddType text/x-server-parsed-html .html

Or, you can edit httpd.conf for that site.
If you're worried about all the .html files being parsed, the .htaccess
could be placed in one sub-directory with the .html files to be parsed.
