I have a Apache proxying to a number of Mongrel's on different physical machines.
What I need to do next is share files between the Rails instances. I am creating dynamic files which will be created by Rails and stored on disk. The file is then recovered and served at a later date by an ajax request. But because of the proxying the ajax call my be routed to a different machine. Therefore I am considering setting up a shared drive to which all Rails instances will save the files. At the moment I am working on Windows but this will be Linux or FreeBSD in the end... I'm guessing shared drives are simply paths in both cases. Is there anything I need to consider with this method? Many thanks, K. PS. I am aware of other methods for doing this eg. sticky sessions and some kind of message que, and I am open to suggestions :) _______________________________________________ Mongrel-users mailing list Mongrel-users@rubyforge.org http://rubyforge.org/mailman/listinfo/mongrel-users
