reads this file every time it processes a client request.

rc.2.d (Unix)
A file on Unix machines that describes programs that are run when the machine

because of its location.
redirection
A system by which clients accessing a particular URL are sent to a different
location, either on the same server or on a different server. This system is useful
if a resource has moved and you want the clients to use the new location
transparently. It’s also used to maintain the integrity of relative links when
directories are accessed without a trailing slash.
