# Apache2, .htaccess and multisite

 * Hi, I’m having some redirect problems on my site that I’m trying to sort out,
   but one thing I realized is that I’m using the Apache2 redirect module, so the
   plugin is using .htaccess and not the database. But my site is also a multisite
   network, which means all the sites are using those redirect rules. Isn’t this
   going to potentially cause conflicts? The rules don’t seem to specify by domain.
 * If this is a problem, is there any workaround?

 * It is an open issue: [https://github.com/johngodley/redirection/issues/1340](https://github.com/johngodley/redirection/issues/1340)
 * I would advise using the database for now.
