I'm assuming that what I'm trying to do is a fairly common on this list,
so I'm hoping someone can help me out. We are deploying a rails app.
using multiple mongrels, managed by mongrel_cluster and apache's
mod_balancer. All config information is below. As part of our setup,
we use memcache for sessioning -- which is my current problem. Sessions
are being set, however, it seems that each mongrel instance is
maintaining its own copy of the session data (does that make sense?).
What I'm seeing is that as data is being placed into session variables,
occasionally, an older instance of a session variable will be
resurrected. So if I'd placed "water" in a session variable to be used
for some action and then placed "fish" in the session variable to use
for some actions -- when I do those actions, sometimes I'm getting
"water" back when I query the session variable. It's almost like each
mongrel instance is using it's own "memcache" -- which doesn't make
sense because we only have a single memcache server running.
Any suggestions are welcome.
Thanks,

Any, here's our setup:
10 mongrels running on 1 server, managed by mongrel_cluster
1 memcache server, running on localhost
