Hello, we currently use a homegrown apache module, which maps urls to

zope cluster f?r 400+ Sites).
What would be the best way to achieve the same effect with nginx? We
can live with a solution, where the mysql-table is exported once a
night, a new nginx include is written and nginx is reloaded. I think
it would be bad to port the apache module to nginx, as a mysql-lookup
for each request reduces the benefits of nginx.
The lookup can be exact, so we do not need thousands of rewrites via
regex.
Could you show example of mappings ?
nginx can do lookups via "map" directive.
Yes I suspected already that "map" could be a solution, but I do not
understand what the variables "0;" etc mean.
The mapping looks like this,
Currently they only arrive at one host "www.xxx.de" but it would be
cool, if also different hosts could be covered, but that's not a
stopper.
With regards,
