Hi,

Thanks for the advise; I also added a patch for the current trunk
(updated 'bug' report).

Interesting fact you brought up about mass virtual hosting. I was
thinking about this and theoretically I could write a module to handle
this. With all my vh info stored in a database. This module would handle
the requests and pull stuff from the database and store this in memory
with some sort of timestamp and serve the files from there. When the
timestamp expires, information again is pulled from the database etc. 
This way I would probably never need a graceful; right? Mmmm something
to think about and maybe give a try when I have some free time on my
hands.

But for now I'd still really like to see this patch go in the trunk.

Cheers,

Jan

First impression: the patch makes sense.  And now it's available
on bugzilla for anyone who looks.  But it's of limited applicability,
because the problem it fixes is just one of many serious drawbacks of 
running large numbers of vhosts without using a mass-virtual-hosting
solution.

Getting it adopted depends on finding support amongst committers.
In the case of a patch that isn't fixing a security issue or some
howler of a bug, that's much more likely to happen in /trunk/
(and thence 2.2) than in 2.0.  If there were patches against all
three branches, there's a chance they'd all be applied.

Looks fine to me.
