Hi,

I am wondering if it is okay to use PathAUto and Global Redirect to handle tens of thousands of URLs.

I inherited a site that had been migrated from vBulletin to D7 and I have made a map of URL aliases from the old to the new system. I would use apache RewriteMap but I am not allowed to on the server.

So my question is; is there any risk of performance degradation if I upload the full list of URL aliases to Drupal (would I just add to the database directly?)?

Or should I use a very long .htaccess file with a RewriteRule for each alias?

Or something else?

Thanks

Nick

Hi Nick,

I was wondering what decision you came to (if any) and how it worked out for you. I am looking at a very similar scenario in the near future.

Thank you,

Jeremy
