Mongrel users - May 2006 - Instructions for virtual hosting with Apache + Mongrel?

Hi!

I am trying to convince my hosting provider to install Mongrel (so
that I can use it behind Apache 1.3). I have looked, but could not
find any instructions on how to set up Mongrel for virtual hosting
specifically. My hosting provider runs FreeBSD.

Installing the Mongrel gem and providing each account with an extra
higher port for proxing behind Apache seems to easy. Could it really
be that simple?

Kind regards,

Peter

Yes, you have normal virtual host definitions and proxy them to Mongrel. 
Each proxy/mongrel uses another port.
