I'm considering setting up a virtual host (vhost) in Apache to redirect traffic to a different port or IP address. I'm wondering if this would put any extra load on my Apache server. Specifically, I'm interested in understanding the potential impact on server performance in terms of CPU, RAM, and disk I/O usage.

Are there any factors I should consider when setting up a vhost for this purpose, and how can I minimize any potential performance impact?

For example let's say it was having hundreds of thousands of hits and redirecting the traffic, would this affect performance of the apache server

  • Define "extra". Of course doing work and handling traffic isn't free, but what alternative scenario are you comparing to? – hobbs Aug 20 '23 at 23:15
  • If you're running on anything larger than a toaster, the performance impact of a vhost should be negligible. – AKX Aug 20 '23 at 23:20
