Yes, there is always a fine line between configuration and performance, I suppose. Basically, at the heart of what I'm imagining is everything is per_dir (no real per-server configs) and the "fancy configuration stuff" really boils down to per-dir config merges. The "parser" or "language" needs to be small and quick and do most of it's heavy lifting in post-config (parse and cache the tree, don't do the full string parsing at run time). Sorta how mod_rewrite works now... The If/Else stuff would probably be able to do this.. -- Brian Akins Chief Operations Engineer Turner Digital Media Technologies
