As i mentioned using .htaccess should be your last resort; there is a big performance hit

big? You're joking. It's a miniscule hit in all but the most contrived of circumstances. Even the most complex websites are rarely more than 4 or 5 levels below DOcumentRoot.

with using .htaccess and if you have the ability dont use it and turn it off if you arn't using it.

I have to disagree. I thin the convenience of it is well worth the effort. I can edit my htaccess via a webdav mount, for example. That's rather harder to do to /etc/httpd/vhosts/domain.tld.conf I also prefer to put custom php directives into htaccess, but that's probably just my personal preference. It's nice to know that if I backup a site though, I have ALL of the site and don't have to go check what the virtualhost configuration says. -- Hi, I'm Gary Cooper, but not the Gary Cooper that's dead.
