John- (this looks like it might be headed for an Apache httpd.conf type list)
Not sure if this is exactly what you had in mind, but you might try making the 
adjustments on your httpd.conf file under the <VirtualHost xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx> 
section. Assuming Apache 2.x installation.
Apache 1.x has a separate conf file for virtual hosts 
httpd/conf/vhosts/Vhosts.conf), but the basics are the same.
In Apache2, I include a ScriptAlias: /qmailadmin /var/cgi-bin/qmailadmin...for 
each virtul domain which uses qmailadmin.
So the user/admin needs only the http://hostname.com/qmailadmin (without the 
need for cgi-bin in the URL).

I have only a handful of virtual domains (qmail/vpopmail/qmailadmin/sqwebmail), 
so maintenance is minimal. If you have a large number of virtuals, YMMV.

Someone might have a more elegant way of doing what you're looking for.

Not sure precisely what you want in your question #2.
HTH,
Rick
