Dynamically manage Apache virtualhosts

[ Thanks to Jagbir

“Here I would describe how to manage DNS to dynamically
recognize newly created virtualhosts. Again, this might not be the
best or efficient way to implement this but this is what worked for
me. After creating virtualhosts in Apache, you need to update DNS
so that new virtualhosts start working. To update DNS dynamically,
your DNS provider should have some way (like API) which enable you
to manipulate its records. There are few providers offering this
facility. For this experiment, I selected DNSMadeEasy which
provides APIs to add/remove/update records on fly using
scripts.”
