Hey all Im currently running this lighty / mongrel / pound config... pound -- lighty (for static content) -- mongrel cluster (for rails) Now then, i hear that 1.5 will have vastly improved proxying module on lighty? Which would reduce the stack to the point where lighty could replace pound as the load balencer? Effectivly making it... lighty -- mongrel cluster Where lighty would serve the sites to which it has in its configuration. Proxying the ones where configured to do so. I was interested in what people knew about the improvements in 1.5 regarding the proxying / load balencing modules and when we might see them? As currently its a pain in the ass using pound, there are some thing (such as re-write rules and the like) which it just cant do. Some would say use Apache 2.2 as a the load balencer, but a) i prefer lighty, and b) i prefer lighty! haha. Any thoughts, just was after a frank, open discussion really, as i know there are probally quite a few people out there running very similar set-up''s Cheers Tim Perrett -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.

It will effectively cut out the pound from your setup all together. Meanwhile I have been using nginx as a mongrel cluster front end. Irt serves static files fast and has a great proxy module built in. You can get a nice rails ready config for nginx if you want to try it out here: http://brainspl.at/articles/2006/09/12/new-nginx-conf-with-rails-caching Cheers- -Ezra --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.

thanks for the suggestion however ive just set it up so that pound proxys static files to lighty transparently, which will more than suffice for now :) Looking forward to see the 1.5 realse of lighty tho, ill keep a look out over the comming weeks Cheers Tim -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.
