Having multiple servers has been a must in my experience with Mongrel, mainly because if a task is database / IO bound then other users have to wait for it.

I'm using Lighttpd => Pound => 10 Mongrels right now.

Lighttpd just released a new version (1.5), which has the ability to directly contact multiple mongrels.

I'll likely upgrade to this later in the week. Then I'll just have Lighttpd => 10 Mongrels

Hope this helps,
Pete

After reading the digital shortcut and the
documentation on the web site I'm confused.
Which one should I use? pen, balance or nginx ?

I don't want to use a behemoth like appache and ssl is
not needed so it reduces my choice to those three
only....

What are the pros and cons of each? I don't have much
money, so the less ressources I use the better it is
for me....

As an additional question, how far would a one server
configuration get me? I'm going to be serving a lot of
pictures and have some simple treatment of photos
(resizing and such)
