Then when you got to a folder containing your site root you have to re-log 
on and you are now accessing your admin with the SiteRoot setting.  If for 
any reason you messed up your site root and don't know how to suppress it 
you could be in some trouble trying to even get to the manage of these 
sections.

VHM (virtual host monster) could easily help you to avoid any potential 
disasters like this and when you access, like you are indicating above you 
only have to log in once and you will be able to manage everything because 
VHM is dormant unless activated by the call from your APACHE.

Then when you need to create more VH (Virtual Hosts)  you just need to add 
the proper settings to Apache and not even worry about a SiteRoot settings.


My opinion much cleaner, safer and easier
