lookup_uri() will issue a subrequest that includes URI->filename translation. lookup_file() will skip over the translation part, setting $r->filename to the file you pass in. I suppose that you could use this to avoid the IO if you know the file doesn't exist, but I've never tried. from the code it looks like it should work ok - $r->filename is set but meaningless for dynamic documents anyway. > I am wanting to do a > internal_redirect() to a virtual file whose name is always > changing.

I don't see why you need to use either with internal_redirect() - just pass it the URI and let Apache handle it. you would use a subrequest (initiated from eather of the lookup functions) along with $sub->run() if you wanted to send the contents of the subrequest along.
