What does dl_ stand for? Otherwise, this patch looks good. Maybe using 'master_' and 'shared_'?

Maybe using 'master_' and 'shared_'? ------------------------------------------------------------------------ April 3, 2005 - 20:26 : danielc I used "d1" as short for "drupal site number 1." It seems "master" and "shared" are also ambiguous because they don't indicate anything to do with Drupal and if one is making many sites, "master" doesn't indicate which site it's for. So, how about "drupal_site_1_" and "drupal_shared_"?
