Add the new DocumentRootCheck directive. This determines if we
check for each DocumentRoot during startup.

<P>

During startup, Apache does a <CODE>stat</CODE> of each

<A HREF="#documentroot">DocumentRoot</A>

to determine if the directory exists. If your server is

configured with lots of DocumentRoot directives (for example,

if you server numerous virtual hosts), this can <em>greatly</em> increase

the startup time. If you are sure that all the DocumentRoot

entries exist, you can tell Apache to bypass this check using

<BLOCKQUOTE><CODE>DocumentRootCheck Off</CODE></BLOCKQUOTE>
