But extended status can also get bloated. In addition to the extra overhead, there's the problem of making the display readable. Looking at http://apache.org/server-status, I don't see where the server IP address and port would fit comfortably in addition to what's already on the detail lines. A few possibilities come to mind: * stick the ip/port info in the scoreboard, but don't display it in mod_status. * provide a directive that lets you choose between seeing the vhost name or server IP/port. I doubt that many folks use both name based vhosts and IP based vhosts. Or make such a decision based on the existing vhost directives. * provide format strings, like we do for the access logs. (seems like too much work) Greg
