Hi.  Here is how you solve the problem with the right tool for the job:

---
# configapache.yml
hosts: apacheservers
sudo: True
tasks:
- name: configure apache
  template:
    dest: /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf
    src:  httpd.conf.jinja2
  notify: reload apache
- name: copy testserver stuff
  copy:
    dest: /etc/httpd/conf/local/testserver.conf
    src: testserver.conf
  notify: reload apache
handlers:
- name: reload apache
  service: httpd state=reloaded

---
# httpd.conf.jinja2
...standard config...
{% if apache.testserver %}
Include "conf/local/testserver.conf"
{% endif %}

---
# host_vars/apache1.yml
apache:
  testserver: True

---
# hosts
apache1
apache2
apache3
postfix1
postfix2

[apacheservers]
apache1
apache2
apache3

---
# your prompt
ansible-playbook -v configapache.yml

There you go -- a quick way to do proper Apache configuration without
dicking with EnvironmentFiles that *actually preserves the ability to
reload Apache with no downtime!*
