Hey all - I've got a question that I haven't seen addressed anywhere and was wondering if anyone has put any thought into it or not...
Here's my setup... I have several *small* sites running apache/mongrel. Each has a single mongrel instance. Most don't get any traffic (no one reads my blog :). And I was thinking, I could host a couple of more sites/projects without worrying about ram if I could find a way have all my mongrels be off until a request came in... then apache (or some other server) could block until it could get mongrel started, then keep processing the request. Then I could either kill off the mongrel later if no traffic was coming in. Or perhaps mongrel itself could stay running, but unload (and free the ram) of rails until a request came in, then load it back up for awhile until traffic stopped and unload it... So.. I guess I'm wondering if anyone's done anything like this or if it is possible and if so what the best way to go about it might be? I'd be willing to help (if I can, but not sure how likely that is :) It would be nice to have my little apps that get little traffic not suck up so much ram while "idle".. -philip _______________________________________________ Mongrel-users mailing list Mongrel-users@rubyforge.org http://rubyforge.org/mailman/listinfo/mongrel-users
