I'm looking for the most reliable setup for Mongrel. Reliable meaning avoiding things like sending too many requests to a single mongrel process, or sending requests to a mongrel process that has hung for some reason. The handler will most likely be rails, but it might be a custom handler. SSL is also a requirement, which limits the options a bit but it can't be done away with.
I spent some time looking at using the proxy balancer in apache, and it appears that the balancer can pile up requests on mongrel because there is no way to tell apache to not send more than one request at a time to any single balance member. I'm also not sure how well things are handled if a mongrel process hangs in some way. Not that it would of course:) Suggestions?
