Yep, that's exactly what SwitchPipe does. Dynamically launches,
manages, and kills backend processes that speak HTTP. Even better than
that, it'll kill Mongrels that aren't in use for a certain period of
time.. so rather than having, say, 3 Mongrels running ALL the time on
a quiet app, it'll scale it back to zero Mongrels after X seconds of
inactivity if you like. Alternatively you can make it keep 1 Mongrel
up to pick up requests before scaling up to meet demand. Whatever you
want to do, it does it.
