Hi Chris Thanks very much for your reply. In terms of OS I'm looking at using Ubuntu. Apps-wise I'm not sure yet, but I'm hoping to keep the number of apps down to a minimum by sharing between sites - ie - 2+ simple sites run off the same app but with different content/layouts/etc. Not sure how this is going to work yet, but it must be possible? In terms of resources I'm (planning on) using the most basic VM option available through www.bytemark.co.uk, that is, 150MB RAM, until I need more and then I'll change.
I'd never heard of Nginx before but it certainly sounds like a good solution. So let me get this straight - on the development side you have Pound (load balancing, traffic direction) running in front of N mongrel clusters. On your production you have hardware load balancers, with Nginx as your main server and again N mongrel clusters. Oh for a whiteboard?! I don't think I'll need such a complex production system as it sounds like you're getting a lot more traffic than I am expecting, at least initially. In terms of development I think using Pound might be a bit overkill for the moment as well, until I get lots of sites going I can just start up mongrels manually. Anyway, thanks for your help - I think I have more of an idea where I am going now and I'll certainly have a look at nginx as a possible production server.
