That's usually done by setting up mod_proxy in Apache to reverse proxy from Apache to mongrel. I believe that is the typical mongrel production scenario?
Here's one page I found on the mongrel wiki (it warns it may be outdated, but I think it's still good) leading you through how to do that. http://mongrel.rubyforge.org/wiki/Apache Note that once you've turned on mod_proxy in apache, it's very important to include the line "ProxyRequests off" in your apache config. We're using mod_proxy as a reverse proxy, but by default it'll be an unsecured forward proxy too, which is something you definitely don't want. "ProxyRequests off" turns this off. Hope this helps. Some other mongrel experts correct me if I'm wrong, I've been puzzling through this stuff myself.
