Hi Jay, I've a TON less experience than these guys with Rails deployment, so take what I'm suggesting with a grain of salt. All my Rails apps are internal, not external, so I'm not seeing traffic like you are. However, with that said...
I've had a LOT of (good) luck with using LiteSpeed (http://www.litespeedtech.com) as my web server to serve both static and dynamic content. The memory footprint is much less than Apache+mongrel, and it just runs; I don't have to monitor it for zombie mongrel processes. They have a custom interface/API (LSAPI) that alows the web server to talk to Ruby, and it's FAST.... Take a look and see if that might be a solution in the context of your VPS... -- Best Regards, Chris --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Deploying Rails" group.
