httpd.conf will get overwritten on Firmware updates

yes this is quite true and quite a problem - especially since there are other changes to this file needed for wordpress / php / phplists and similar other popular add-ons. My solution is to carefully document all changes made to such files so that they can be repeated later if necessary but it would be MUCH neater if some level of customisation could be tollerated and still allow standard upgrades.

It will actually restart apache

I must admit I didnt test this aspect very thoroughly and certainly didnt restart the browser or flush the cache, so you are probably right.

it's ok to do a reboot as a final check

Assuming the steps are done correctly first time there should only be one reboot required but I totally accept that isnt usually the case when making system changes. particularly if you're anything like me :wink:
