You can deploy a cluster of Mongrels on Windows, sure, but the Mongrel cluster manager script doesn't work. I run a number of Mongrel 'clusters' on Windows Server 2k3. Each server has 4 Mongrels per core, just a simple guideline, which are installed as services with each listening on a different port. Connections are delegated by a single Apache 2.2 instance running mod_proxy_balancer. It's really quite a vanilla setup these days, for both Linux/ whatever and Windows. The only catch with Windows is that you have to manage everything manually as tools such as mongrel cluster and Capistrano aren't available. Though it's really not that big of a deal as you simply create a few batch files for each operation and you derive much of the value that the Linux/whatever tools provide. Quite stable and nicely performant. As long as you don't mind the inherent 10%-20% performance penalty of Ruby on Windows.
