In an Apache + Mongrel Cluster setup you can base the dispatch on ProxyPass or on "rewrite to the balancer unless the file exists".
In theory the ProxyPass approach has the pro of avoiding a stat call. But the number of dynamic requests is proportionally quite small, since a page normally means a request for Mongrel and a handful of requests for static resources. So I wonder whether that's really a pro in practice (for a regular website, not Amazon.com). On the other hand, you need to remember to have httpd.conf and public subdirectories in sync, and you can't have a controller called ImagesController with ProxyPass. The configuration based on mod_rewrite is more orthogonal. Does anybody have compared the performance of both approaches? -- fxn --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Deploying Rails" group.
