Hey Simon-
I don't have any whitepapers about our architecture currently
available. But the 50,000 ft view is like this:
Http request from client -> LVS redundant load balancers -> Nginx ->
mongrel_cluster.
The nginx and mongrel clusters run on the same Xen VM. with multiple
VM's behind the LVS load balancers.
You are correct that nginx does not support kerberos so you will need
to keep apache. Haproxy is probably a good solution for you in this
case.
