I'd say, my complaint was a little misunderstood. It is not, that I wish
to see separate DBD-configurations per location/directory, though it may
be a good thing too.
It is that I want to be able to use more than one server per vhost. This
collection of servers can be maintained in the persistent object you had
in mind, where the single server is maintained now.
Perhaps, the DBD-statements should begin accepting one more (optional)
argument -- the server's label:
DBDriver first freetds
DBDriver second mysql
DBDParams first "...."
DBDParams second "..........."
Then RewriteMaps can then changed to operate thus:
RewriteMap first "dbd:first:SELECT ...."
RewriteMap second "dbd:second:SELECT ...."
I don't think, I'm the best person to implement this -- whoever
"quick-hacked" the dbd-maps in recently is, probably, better positioned
to do this ;-) My employer's needs here are satisfied for now -- we
decided to use text-maps for local cache and thus need only a single
dbd-map for talking to database (if the local cache fails). But I can
give it a try, if no one else does.

P.S. BTW, I fixed the FreeTDS/Sybase driver
<https://issues.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=53666> for APR/APU
somewhat -- it has been absolutely broken and unusable for years, no
kidding -- but don't see any movement on the ticket... Does anyone care?
