This is a little much for one post, which is probably why nobody is answering. You should make your questions shorter and more specific. > > 1.

While you are probably correct, the difference between the two would probably not be observable in any real-world situation. > b. Won't mod_rewrite issue some redirect (3xx) response when used? Not if you configure it correctly. > c. Cant the mod_rewrite rewrites collide somehow with other rewrites in > htaccess files of the vhosted domains? Yes. But so could mod_vhost_alias. In fact, it is better to use mod_rewrite if you already use a bunch of rewrite stuff, because that way the order of precedence of rules is more clearly definable. > If there are some reasons to use more then one mass > vhosting template, please give me an example, I dont want to overlook > something. This is all about local needs. Some people can't setup all their vhosts on the filesystem as required by mod_vhost_alias, for example. > > 2. How would you implement this? I have something in mind, please correct > me if something seems problematic I don't really see a question here. Why don't you try it out yourself and come back if you have specific problems? (One thing I would do would be to forget about splitting by first letter. A modern filesystem can handle 500 directory entries with no problem. You only need to split if you have many thousands of hosts.)
