best way to not lose changes in httpd.conf

[Lem0nHead]

hello
I have a few questions about how httpd.conf changes are handled

1) will /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf ever be replaced (I read somewhere in the help.directadmin.com that it wouldn't, but I'm almost sure it was after I recompile apache 2.2 with custombuild - although a backup was done)
if it is, where can I add "permanent changes" (like include modsecurity)?

2) I need special settings for a virtualhost
things like CustomLog and a few Alias, but that's just for one user
do you think using the "if" on virtualhost templates is the best way to do that?
I don't feel very confortable with that solution... maybe it's possible to configure "special settings" for some users anywhere else?

thanks

Only when you upgrade it (e.g. go from 1.3 to 2.0 or 2.2) or run "./build rewrite_confs".

one more thing
I have a user for which the <VirtualHost ...:443> is not being generated (but it is for other users)
any hints on the reason?
this user has SSL=ON and I rewrite the httpd.conf after I enabled SSL
isn't this enough?

Hello,

Go to the User Level for that User. Click "Domain Setup", then click the domain name. Ensure that the ssl checkbox is present. I believe it might be lower case in the domain.com.conf file in the users directadmin user's domains directory.
