I actually considered using a link. I don't know why, but I just assumed that apache wouldn't play well with a link.

Well, this could be a work around. The only problem/reason its a work around and not a solution is because I actually have 24 GB of data inside my development folders on a couple computers. such a large development folder brings about two problems here:
  1. my dropbox account doesn't have that much of storage (nor would I want it syncing that stuff anyway)
  2. whenever running my login's "switch-server's-location" script, it would have to move the 24 GB of stuff out of /var/www just for the link to work.
I'll probably use link to redirect Apache just on a computer or two right now, but I'll still be searching for a more thorough solution. Thanks again, glen.barber, I appreciate the input.

Perhaps someone with a better understanding of Apache than me could explain to me "Apache's http root isn't meant to be fiddled with"? and such an undertaking isn't for the inexperienced?

apacheconf

apacheconf(1)						       Apache configuration						     apacheconf(1)

NAME

       apacheconf - Apache configuration utility

SYNTAX

       apacheconf

DESCRIPTION

       This  is  a  new  graphical  tool  to configure the common web server Apache in an easy and simple way. It supports the basic configuration
       options and even allows to set up multiple virtual hosts.

OPTIONS

       None

FILES

       /usr/bin/apacheconf
       /usr/share/apacheconf/*
       /etc/alchemist/switchboard/apache.switchboard.adl
       /etc/alchemist/namespace/apache/local.adl
       /etc/alchemist/namespace/apache/rpm.adl
       /var/cache/alchemist/apache/*

EXAMPLES

       To run this program simply type:

       apacheconf

SEE ALSO

       httpd(8)

BUGS

       Not all possible checks for correct values are done yet.

       The current /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf file is NOT parsed, so changing the configuration with apacheconf will overwrite any manual  changes
       to  the	httpd.conf  file or the changes done with apacheconf are discarded. In case of overwriting the manually editied file a backup file
       will be generated.
