I'd suggest finding out how many files you can comfortably handle in a single directory for the given filesystem before performance starts to degrade (e.g. per the filesystems' docs). Estimate how many files you would possibly want to store, at a maximum, and then you can calculate how many levels of directories you'll need. Unless .htaccess files will also live there I doubt this has a lot to do with httpd. cheers, -peter --------------------------------------------------------------------- The official User-To-User support forum of the Apache HTTP Server Project.
