Why 10? Have you tested that assumption? We found 4 mongrels to be our sweet spot... http://mongrel.rubyforge.org/docs/how_many_mongrels.html Also, you might consider merging the web/app servers... we found that apache didn't use up that many resources serving static files so each of our servers runs both apache and mongrel. So you might consider running apache + 4 mongrels on each of the 4 servers... Guess I'm assuming your HTTP is behind some other load balancer... > > BalancerMember http://10.0.1.1:800* > ... > BalancerMember http://10.0.1.2:800* > ... > > Should this be identical on both http servers? > > So I would have a total of 20 entries per conf on each http server ( 10x2 > mongrels for 2 app servers ). > > Otherwise I am assuming the setup is the same as if they were local > mongrels.
