Why not just creating the vhosts DocumentRoot inside the users home
directories like "/home/$user/www/html". The DocumentRoot for the vhosts
does not have to be where the DocumentRoot of the main server is.

If you use scponly from

http://www.sublimation.org/scponly/

you can setup your user permission so that they can not cruise through
your whole system using the SSH access. They are chrooted inside their
$HOME and can whatever they need to do for setting up their web site.
