SED, match a line block

Hello,
I want to do a simple substitution using sed but I can't find a solution. Basically, from a Apache conf file, I would like to remove everything included between the <VirtualHost> and </VirtualHost> e.g
Code:
SSLMutex  file:/var/run/ssl_mutex
<VirtualHost _default_:443>
# A lot of config that I don't want
<VirtualHost>
#another config

So the result I want is everything withtout the VirtualHost part:
Code:
SSLMutex  file:/var/run/ssl_mutex
#another config

I tried:
Code:
gsed -e "s#<VirtualHost.*</VirtualHost>##g" /tmp/test

but it does not match the line block Smilie

Any ideas ?

R.

NAME
asp-perl - Apache::ASP CGI and command line script processor SYNOPSIS
asp-perl [-hsdb] [-f asp.conf] [-o directory] file1 @arguments file2 @arguments ... -h Help you are getting now! -f Specify an alternate configuration file other than ./asp.conf -s Setup $Session and $Application state for script. -d Set to debug code upon errors. -b Only return body of document, no headers. -o Output directory, writes to files there instead of STDOUT -p GlobalPackage config, what perl package are the scripts compiled in. DESCRIPTION
This program will run Apache::ASP scripts from the command line. Each file that is specified will be run, and the $Request->QueryString() and $Request->Form() data will be initialized by the @arguments following the script file name. The @arguments will be written as space separated words, and will be initialized as an associate array where %arguments = @arguments. As an example: asp-perl file.asp key1 value1 key2 value2 would be similar to calling the file.asp in a web environment like /file.asp?key1=value1&key2=value2 The asp.conf script will be read from the current directory for parameters that would be set with PerlSetVar normally under mod_perl. For more information on how to configure the asp.conf file, please see < http://www.apache-asp.org/cgi.html > SEE ALSO
