I am hoping and assuming that it should be only if all the 500/1000 files are in the same directory, since filesystems do have much more than 500 files. So, even if you have 500 virtual hosts, and minimum two files per VH, you don't have to keep them in the same dir. you can have 10 sub-dirs, each with 100 sub-sub-dirs, with files of each VH. ------------------------------------------------------------------- ShashiKant Joshi Tel: 770-424-6958 Shift-F1, Inc.
