Could someone please clarify for me what is mongrel cluster vs. proxy vs. all that other stuff you use with mongrel? I'm basically confused why I can't simply run one mongrel server and be happy. Why do I need a cluster? Why can't I just run:
mongrel_rails start -n 3 wouldn't that mean I have 3 mongrel servers running and they can handle more load? Or do I still need something in front of these 3 servers to distribute requests to them. Why do people use Apache infront of Mongrel? So what about Pound? Basically I'm very confused with all these options out there to run in production environment using Mongrel. Please help me and explain to me why all this is needed. Thank you in advance. -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/. _______________________________________________ Mongrel-users mailing list Mongrel-users@rubyforge.org http://rubyforge.org/mailman/listinfo/mongrel-users
