I recently added a few virtual domains from a CentOS server and mention this because I haven't noticed regular graceful restarts in my apache2 error log before. For example, a few lines are below that show the restart every few seconds

Howdy -- are the restarts all happening at roughly the same time?
That may just be the log rotation, which does issue a number of Apache restarts in order to get Apache to not hold the log file open.
