Re: vhosts conf file efficiency

[Steve Swift <Swifty@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I don't think it would make a significant difference if you had a single file with 2000 vhosts, or 2000 files with one vhost each.

Having them all in one file would make life easier if you needed to make a global change.

One caveat: Don't ever rely on a a wildcard INCLUDE for the order of your vhosts. This probably only matters for the first vhost, which is the default for any request which doesn't match any vhost.

Hi,

Is it more efficient for all virtualhost blocks to be in a single
file, eg httpd-vhosts.conf, or for each of them to be in their own
"one file per domain" via an include hosts.d/*.conf
We are talking a minimum of 2000 hosts per machine.

Memory I assume would be the same since it needs to know every domain,
but hows it for speed of starts?

Any other caveats, like file descriptor issues?

Thanks
