Write your own scripts and shortcut the frustration.

Keep a directory with a subdirectory for each site. Have all config
files needed properly configured and stored there. Lastly, a simple
script just copies in the required files over the top of the last lot
and restarts the services. I have a desktop icon and a GUI (using
gtkdialog) so I can easily select the correct site.

Ive tried a few like network manager, and also tried to get gentoo's
networking to do it semi-automaticly to help, but all I ended up with
was a frustratingly fragile mess.

At least now it works reliably, and saves me lots of time as well.
