This is more linux/php question.

My plan is to build a eZ with 1000 or 2000 siteacceses.

I am wondering now at how many siteaccess will I notice an imense loss of performance, because of the amount of directories inside either the settings/siteaccess or var/siteaccessname

Does any body know the answer or even dares? :-)

Thank you

Interesting. The only thing which I can think of which will cause overhead here is that you need to enable all 1000 siteaccesses. This means that you will use some memory for these 1000 lines. But this overhead should be much smaller than having 1000 installations by far. Each site can share the same php code and this will be cached really well.

Haven't tested though. It would be interesting to hear about some test results ( mabye create a script which generates these siteaccesses for a test first? )

The final solution could look like this...

1.) catch all request on one ip, because we do not want apache to blow up.
2.) use mod perl to provide a fast mapping from external/unkown hosts to a common internal one
3.) do the usual mod_rw stuff
4.) prodive a little kernel hack to dynamicly match against a internal uri :-)
