title: Having huge redirect list in .htaccess a Problem?
body: <p>I want to redirect every post 301 redirect, but I have over 3000 posts. </p>
  
  <p>If I list</p>
  
  <pre><code>Redirect permanent /blog/2010/07/post.html http://new.blog.com/2010/07/23/post/
  Redirect permanent /blog/2010/07/post1.html http://new.blog.com/2010/07/24/post1/
  Redirect permanent /blog/2010/07/post2.html http://new.blog.com/2010/07/25/post2/
  Redirect permanent /blog/2010/07/post3.html http://new.blog.com/2010/07/26/post3/
  Redirect per......
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>for over 3000 url redirect command in .htaccess would this eat my server resource or cause some problem? Im not sure how .htaccess work but if the server is looking at these lists each time user requests for page, I would guess it will be a resource hog.</p>
  
  <p>I can't use RedirectMatch because I added date variable in my new url. Do you have any other suggestions redirecting these posts? Or am I just fine?</p>
  
  <p>Thanks!</p>
