Now, we use RewriteMaps only when the map files are very small (not more than some dozen entries). That is interesting to know. Right now, we use multiple map files but each is small. Is there anyother way to do load balncing with Zope without Rewrite ?
We use a load balancer (a piece of hardware) for this. Alternatively, "pond" (or similar) is a software load balancer implemented in Python.
... maps with the same name ... The problem is the cache treats both the file as the same since they have the same name! Hence if you visit foo.com first, the data stored in foomap.txt is returned from the cache next time you visit foo.com or bar.com. This causes apache to redirect into the wrong zope site.
We did not observe this behaviour...
btw, Did you use the same map name (like, in different sections maybe) for the different map files.
Yes. The same map file name mapping to different files in different virtual hosts. -- Dieter
