Hello guys,

I would like to know if it is possible to have multiple  
fastcgi\_cache\_path /  
keys\_zone.

If I host multiple websites and all share the same keys\_zone, it becomes  
a  
problem if I have to purge the cache. I cannot purge it for a single  
website, only for all of them.

This is more out of curiosity than a real problem.

Best regards.

Yes, it is possible. And that’s actually why the fastcgi\_cache  
directive needs zone name as a parameter.
