It just occurred to me, we're serving public/ files statically from
apache2.2 without involving mongrel at all. In this case, anything in
public/ would be sent directly without the need for mongrel to do an
X-Sendfile direction to Apache.
# Redirect all non-static requests to cluster
RewriteCond %{DOCUMENT_ROOT}/%{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteRule ^/(.*)$ balancer://mongrel_cluster%{REQUEST_URI} [P,QSA,L]
If I comment out the RewriteCond, and shunt all requests to mongrel, I
don't see any missing static content or errors in the logs, but then
again I haven't done anything special to enable sendfile support (is
there a gem I should install for mongrel to use to help test this?)
It looks like Coda Hale has experienced this, and is suggesting that
folks do _not_ use sendfile if you can have something else test for
static content and send it instead:

Unless this has changed recently... (as most things rails tend to do)
