Variables in sed command?

[jim car]

I was wondering if anyone could help me out with the syntax of a sed 
command.  I am writing a script to delete virtual hosts from the Apache 
config file.  I know that the following command works.

sed -e '1108,1116d' /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf > /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.tmp

What I would like to do is replace 1108 and 1116 with the variables 
$startline and $endline, but I keep getting errors.  I have tried

sed -e '$startline,$endlined' /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf > 
/etc/httpd/conf/httpd.tmp
sed -e '`echo $startline`,`echo $endlined`' /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf > 
/etc/httpd/conf/httpd.tmp

However neither one worked.  Does any one have any idea?  I would really 
appreciate it.  Right now I'm clueless.

Jim
