Bypass httpd_macosxserver.conf?

Anyone know how I can bypass the httpd_macosxserver.conf? I really dislike how Apple set Apache up in OS X Server, but still want to use OS X Server for other reasons (XServe, IP Failover, etc). I am looking to serve a web site which I need complete control over the conf file. Some directives that I commonly use work in OS X Client are not working in OS X Server (even when I follow the directions in the conf files and put most all of my custom config stuff in httpd_macosxserver.conf. I wish we could just comment the "Include httpd_macosxserver.conf" in the httpd.conf and then just work with httpd.conf, but when I have tried this, apache will not serve anything. Thanks in advance.
