Hello, I just setup my first mongrel server behind a apache proxy. I recognized that a lot of explanation in the wiki and on other external pages configure mod_proxy to connect to a localhost but simple do not configure mongrel to listen only on localhost as well. This leads easily to security issues for unexperienced administrators. sample doc: http://mongrel.rubyforge.org/wiki/Apache My proposal is that for the mod_proxy examples the listening IP is always added. This might encourage to use a local port as default configuration. Best Regards Sebastian Hennebrueder http://www.laliluna.de
