[Rails] Scaling Rails with Apache 2.2, mod_proxy_balancer and Mongrel
Cheers, I''ve just published a blog post about scaling Rails with Apache 2.2, mod_proxy_balancer and Mongrel. This way you do not need another proxy server or load balancer for Mongrel. Just use Apache 2.2 and mod_proxy balancer. blog.innerewut.de/articles/2006/04/21/scaling-rails-with-apache-2-2-mod_proxy_balancer-and-mongrel Jonathan -- Jonathan Weiss blog.innerewut.de

How does page caching (at the webserver) work in such a setup ?

Very sweet Jonathan, I''m working on some mongrel documentation on various deployment scenarios. I''ll probably just refer to your posting for the Apache best practice if you don''t mind. If you think this posting will move around then would you mind letting me steal it as "official documentation"? It will be your work and authored by you, just sitting on the mongrel.rubyforge.org site. Oh, and I saw your posting to the mongrel-users list, but I have a habit of aborting unregistered posting these days. You see, for some very weird reason mongrel-users is getting about 10 Japanese school girl porn messages a day so my rejection is on auto-pilot. Sorry. Zed A.

You can also mount /public through NFS & co on all cluster nodes so that they share the file cache. We only use fragment caching (with memcached) so I had no urge to look further into page caching.
