Redirect directive

[Gregory Keefe]

Hello,   Has anyone considered permitting a hash database (instead of, or in addition to, the flatfile setup) for redirect directives?  The advantage would be super-fast lookups by Apache of a URL redirection target, without being responsible for keeping the data in memory (leaving it up to the Unix kernel's buffer cache instead).  This would be good for sites that have huge lists of redirect statements.   A candidate for the hash file program could be Dan Bernstein's CDB package ( http://cr.yp.to/cdb.html ).   Thanks, Greg Keefe [EMAIL PROTECTED]
