#and make sure that scripts are not being placed in 
#a directory such as /home/sites/siten/web/cgi-bin/
#as a call to a cgi such as href="/cgi-bin/somecgi.cgi will
#incorrectly be a refernce to the script alias.
#there is no need normally to use a script alias unless you 
#want to have scripts run from a place that is not within the 
#domain folders, at least that's how I use it.
#ie. ScriptAlias /cgi-scripts/ /home/sites/home/web/cgi-bin/
#would allow anyone on my server to run a script located
#at the script alias by calling href="/cgi-scripts/oneofmyscigs.cgi"
#If the script is located within the domain folder then there is not
#normally much need for a scriptalias for that domain.
#I don't think you need to repeat the AddHandlers in each domain
#if they are prescribed outside of the virtual hosts but that 
#is a whole other setup.
