UNIXSocket is like file sockets, right? that means One process accessing it could put garbage IF other process jump into the socket. Someone correct me if I'm wrong, but multiple mongrel running from the same file socket will produce the behavior you're getting (misplaced stuff in the replies). > > We have been initially using DRb, but there was a issue with connection > pooling.Besides, fetching data in real time from data vending servers was > costly, hence this proxy does caching and all that stuff.

A pool of connections (one implemented around multiuser protocols... TCPSocket) is my suggestion. If your ConnectionClass could connect to your vending server using a TCP Socket, it will work fine under multiple mongrels. > > But if it would have been written with druby, then it would be a little > difficult for other clients to connect. > > Thanks for help Zed. > -- Luis Lavena Multimedia systems - Leaders are made, they are not born. They are made by hard effort, which is the price which all of us must pay to achieve any goal that is worthwhile.
