You'll need more than one instance of Mongrel. The articles I wrote are all being redone and will be in the Rails Deployment book, so I can't update those on the web.
Install Apache 2.2 with mod_proxy_balance, make that balance your multiple Mongrels on Windows, and point ISAPI_REWRITE to Apache instead of a single Mongrel. Or, if you don't like configuration, you can just use Pen, which has a Windows port. Get that running as a service and just point ISAPI_Rewrite to that. If you really need detailed setups and can't wait for the beta book, contact me off-list.
