I'm using Mongrel 1.0.1 and Apache 2.0 to serve up a handulf of Rails applications.

Apache proxies requests to the instances of Mongrel and uses ProxyPass and ProxyPassReverse to deliver static files.

The Rails application uses sessions, and this appears to be where the issue is occurring.

If too many users login to the application, then at some point the application stops responding to the login process. People will still receive the application's login screen and be able to submit the form data, but instead of logging them in the application will just load up the login screen again. This happens indefinitely.

In order to resolve the situation, I need to restart the Mongrel instance. After restarting the Mongrel instance, the application works fine for a while.

This only happens with this one application that is using Rails sessions.

What could be causing this problem? And how can I resolve it?

Any suggestions/ideas are very welcome.

Thanks,
Nathan
