Good point. Of course, in apache, it's quite easy to use the -f switch to pick the file you're running on. so, with a httpd -f /usr/local/apache/conf/`uname -a|cut -d " " -f 2`.conf I can pick and choose the file to run. So, yes, I would gladly use it in a cluster, and all the files would be in one place, easy to backup. ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 3: if posting/reading through Usenet, please send an appropriate subscribe-nomail command to [EMAIL PROTECTED] so that your message can get through to the mailing list cleanly
