We have included a generic balancer (named "mirror"). A HTTP reverse  
proxy *prototype* is kind of working as well, but we are not going to  
ship it with 0.6; I don't think it's ready for production.

Anyway, 'mirror' is perfect is you want to distribute your HTTP load  
between different web servers that is usually the most common case.

You can configure FastCGI (as the rest of the handlers) with rules  
based on the extensions, directories and regular expressions.  
Moreover, that task has become much easier with the new administration  
interface that we have developed for this upcoming release.

I have been working on different Unix based platforms: OpenSolaris, OS  
X and Linux. I haven't personally worked on Windows, but there are  
other developers who have. There are a few missing features on the  
Windows version though: it does not launch interpreter when it uses  
FastCGI or SCGI, for instance.

I would expect these missing features to be implemented within the  
first few versions of the Cherokee 0.6.x live time, so my advise to  
you would be to bare with us until we release a Windows bug-fixing  
focused release (and we provide tested Windows binaries).
