I want to server favicon from a different place rather than the root folder.
As I explored I have two options
1.
location = /favicon.ico { alias /var/www/media/images/favicon.X.ico; }
2.
rewrite ^/favicon.ico /var/www/media/images/favicon.X.ico last;
As I understand the second one needs an additional regex check for every
request to check if the url is favicon or not (imagine that we have a rewite
of ^/(.*)\.(.*) and thus the favicon rewite must be first).
How the location works? Does it also should be checked on every request?
In general, which solution is better ?
