Autodiscover Proxy on a Per Domain Basis

We used to have enabled:

WHM > Tweak Settings > Domains > Thunderbird and Outlook autodiscover and autoconfig support

Today I had to disable this because of one customer with an Exchange server whose Outlook was connecting to https://CustomerDomain.TLD/autodiscover/autodiscover.xml

which was returning 200 OK which was required to be returning a 4xx

error so that their Outlook could continue on to try the

autodiscover.CustomerDomain.TLD CNAME that exists. Having autodiscover proxy on

the webserver globally, was breaking their ability to auto-discover

email settings. I am not sure if this is only because they have an SSL

website. The below two Apache logs show the different return codes,

before and after I disabled the setting.

x.x.x.x - - [24/Feb/2015:12:01:46 -0800] "POST

/autodiscover/autodiscover.xml HTTP/1.1" 200 1233 "-" "Microsoft

Office/15.0 (Windows NT 6.1; Microsoft Outlook 15.0.4675; Pro)"

x.x.x.x - - [24/Feb/2015:12:03:02 -0800] "POST

/autodiscover/autodiscover.xml HTTP/1.1" 400 48 "-" "Microsoft

Office/15.0 (Windows NT 6.1; Microsoft Outlook 15.0.4675; Pro)"

My question is, do you plan to change the behavior of cPanel/WHM so it

will be possible to use cPanel's autodiscover proxy with some domains

and not others? I imagine I could do this myself if there was some way

to override the global lines cPanel creates on httpd.conf:

ScriptAliasMatch ^/autodiscover/autodiscover.xml /usr/local/cpanel/cgi-sys/autodiscover.cgi

ScriptAliasMatch ^/Autodiscover/Autodiscover.xml /usr/local/cpanel/cgi-sys/autodiscover.cgi

within an individual VirtualHost section. But I don't know how to do that. The only option right now is to disable autodiscover.
