Looking at your PR I think you are decoupling your directories a little too much and should perhaps reduce the number of symlinks you use. For example, instead of having /public -> site/public -> domain/public -> this/public -> jhs.no_domain why not simply have /public be a symlink to /site/domain/this/public ? While increasing the number would not hurt except, as you say, when dealing with loops, I would hate to change it based on this particular setup because I think this setup could be optimized considerably to get well under the current limit of 32. -Matt Matthew Dillon To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message
