hi there.

we have been running isapi rewrite on our servers for
some time now, and all is well and we have managed to
perform the rewriting tasks which were required.

however, after reading through some information about a
month ago - I realised that we may have got it setup
wrong, for performance issues.

I remember reading somewhere (cant remember where) that
it is not wise to run all of your rewrites in the main
global httpd.ini file and that this should be kept as
minimal as possible for performance issues, all other
specific (not wildcard) rewrites should be stored within
another file which is relevant to the domain / website
you are writing.

IS THIS TRUE???
I cant find the information I was reading anywhere, and
therefore cant figure out what to do for the best.

my httpd.ini file is currently 791 lines long and is
written for 2 sites, what is the best way for me to have
this structured?? does it have an performance
implications??

help!

Yes, it would be better to split your rules into 3 sets:
1) rules common for both sites
2) rules specific to the 1st site
3) rules specific to the 2nd site.

1st set should be left in the global httpd.ini while 2nd and 3rd to be moved to separate site-level httpd.ini's. Since you have a lot of rules this change could significantly reduce rules processing time.

lexey - thanks for the reply.

so would in theory we would have 3 httpd.ini files -
each with their own rule sets.

2 in the root of the individual web folders and one in
the program files folder.
