Hi All,

The application is running on mongrel cluster and its used to serve  
different contents for each domain and I had implemented the cache per  
domain level using the below plugin:

Now the problem is, since the mongrel bypasses the .htaccess  
configuration and I am new to mongrel rewrite rule. So it would be of  
great help, if you can let me know the right rewrite rule for mongrel  
for the below .htaccess

RewriteMap uri\_escape int:escape  
\<Directory /path/to/my/rails\_app/public/\>  
RewriteEngine On  
RewriteCond %{REQUEST\_METHOD} GET [NC]  
RewriteCond  
%{DOCUMENT\_ROOT}/cache/%{HTTP\_HOST}%{REQUEST\_URI}%{QUERY\_STRING}.html -f  
RewriteRule ^([^.]+)$  
cache/%{HTTP\_HOST}/$1${uri\_escape:%{QUERY\_STRING}}.html [L]

```
  RewriteCond %{REQUEST_METHOD} GET [NC]
  RewriteCond %{DOCUMENT_ROOT}/cache/%{HTTP_HOST}/index.html -f
  RewriteRule ^$ cache/%{HTTP_HOST}/index.html
</Directory>

```

Please do let me know.

Thank you for your helps!
