It would be no more performance-draining to check for an .htaccess file than it would be to check for any other file as a condition for issuing a 503.
If .htaccess files are enabled, Apache would check for their existance recursively, wouldn't it? Meaning, for a requested file that is 4 directories deep it would do 5 .htaccess existence checks. -- ----------------------------------------------------- Evaldas Imbrasas http://www.imbrasas.com --------------------------------------------------------------------- The official User-To-User support forum of the Apache HTTP Server Project.
