No , i am not lookng for Apache Auth using MySQL, i am looking if it is possible to compile apace to use a db module ( pref Mysql )....
something
similar to Bind DLZ ( where the zone files are all on the MySQL
database ).
If any one works in a web hosting company, could they be kind enough
to
share how the virtual host files for each domain are stored. The issue
with
flat files s that i can store a max of 500 vhost files, but am looking
at
Where is this 500 limit mentioned ?
ok let me correct my self, in our current set up with C-panel all the virtual host directive ( approx 500 ) are all stored in httpd.conf file ... the file is pretty huge!! .... also using MySQL data replication can be done and backup made much easy. Also one of the main reasons is it will be easy to edit the virtual host directive using a web based interface ( eg: Phpmyadmin ) this case. The only thing the httpd.conf will consist is the query to the DB.

did'nt really try it out though!!
