Hello everyone- I am considering using Mongrel and I have read this list pretty extensively. I know that the Apache/mod_proxy_balancer/mongrel approach is the preferred one right now, with Apache serving the static content via mod_rewrite and such. However, in my hardware arsenal, I already have an old and trusty LocalDirector, which I would be inclined to at least try first as a substitute for Apache/ mod_proxy_balancer. The biggest potential downside that I can see is that, in such a setup, mongrel would be serving static files as well as the dynamic Rails parts.
My biggest question is, how recommended (or scorned) is having mongrel serve the static parts? A secondary question is, has anyone used mongrel clusters behind a LocalDirector? Thanks very much!
