Meaning of (6) ... in RewriteLog

[maggi]

I see in the RewriteLog codes as (3),(6), ...
What is the meaning ot them?
I am thinking it might be a reference to the flow diagram in mod_rewrite docs?
Thank you for your help, Maggi

Maggi,

This message comes from the dbm RewriteMap function in mod_rewrite. I believe it just means that the needed data was not available from cache, and so must be fetched from main memory. As long as it is not followed by a "(5) map lookup failed" message, you're OK. If you're truly determined to figure this out, here's the source [opensource.apple.com].
