Figure 7-5: Hierarchical approach to pattern rules
In Figure 7-5, the pattern rules direct user requests as follows:
• www.buystuff.com/ebooks/authorsa/* are directed to server group 1
• www.buystuff.com/ebooks/authorsb/* are directed to server group 2
• www.buystuff.com/ebooks/authorsc/* are directed to server group 3
and so on.
This hierarchical approach has most of the advantages of the first approach, and is also
well-suited to unindexed, browsable, static content. All of the content can be browsed
using a simple CGI or ASP script that inspects the file system and creates links, as
appropriate.
The following commands show the configuration for ebooks, using the hierarchal
method.
