First - Thanks!   We're loving Unicorn.

I'm serving about 200K API requests a day on a few linux servers running Unicorn. We have the API calls, and also some admin stuff that has a UI. I have a pair of F5 load balancers in front of the setup with two pools. The API pool passes directly to the unicorns, while the UI pool passes to nginx which passes to unicorn. At the time it seemed to make sense that the API calls were stateless and waiting only on our backend services to process. The UI was a more complex story with web browsers and persistence.

I'm curious -- is the F5 straight to unicorn plan a good one? We've had no complaints from our customers and great performance, so it's more of a rhetorical question, my average API response time is a tenth of a second. Are there any traps here?

Thanks!
