I am using mod_proxy_balancer to balance Mongrels in localhost. I am

to let Apache serve static files, but that couples the config with
the application layout. I would prefer to be able to simply say:

   if file exists
     let Apache send it
   otherwise
     ProxyPass to Mongrel
     ProxyPassReverse
   end

Is that possible?

Yes, with mod_rewrite.  Something like
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond         /your/docroot/%{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteRule  ^(.+)  http://mongrel/$1  [P,L]
ProxyPassReverse / http://mongrel/

Use the RewriteLog to debug.

But I wouldn't really recommend this.  It can be a fragile
configuration, and it will require local filesystem access on every
request, which will be slow for a busy server.
