Hi all,

I am attempting to setup two disparate sites on a single in-house  
host.  
I have the first one up and going OK and dont want to bend it while  
bringing up a second.

Is this apache / mongrel config appropriate ? Currently the Proxy line  
for the mongrel stuff is  
\<Proxy balancer://mongrel\_cluster\>

I am assuming that I can change the name(s) to this  
\<Proxy balancer://app\_one\_cluster\>  
\<Proxy balancer://app\_two\_cluster\>

cheers  
mjt

It looks good to me which is mostly the same as this one I’m using
