Re: [Mongrel] Why Rails + mongrel_cluster + load balancing doesn'twork for us and the beginning of a solution
I was taking a look at the source for mod_proxy_balancer this evening, and it looks like the simplest solution to this whole problem is to just add another balance method. The functions that determine what balance member gets the next request are pretty short. I'm a pretty bad C programmer, but I subscribed to the apache-dev list this evening and maybe I can get someone there to assist me on the finer points. From what I saw, it looks like you could keep an array of balance members that are handling a request, and then implement a short wait cycle if all the members are busy. Have it write out a warning to the apache log when it has to wait so you know when to be adding more mongrels. I'll let everyone know how it goes.

I think it would be possible to use this setup: ++ |apache_mod_proxy_balance| | or any other webserver | ++ | V ++ | haproxy maxconn 1 minconn 1| ++ || VV +-+ +-+ |mongrel_rails| |mongrel_rails| +-+ +-+ thoughts?! Pros: haproxy balance thru all mongel_rails check the backend if still alive it queues the incomming requests Cons: more complex setup you need to manage more programms/tools Regards Aleks ___ Mongrel-users mailing list Mongrel-users@rubyforge.org http://rubyforge.org/mailman/listinfo/mongrel-users
