Machine A: has Apache 2.2 doing load balancing, also has DB and 8 mongrel processes I’m using mongrel\_cluster . Now, I want to run Mongrels on Machine’s B and C (ie Cluster 3 Mongrels in three different machines). Is this possible? If possible then, please describe me the steps required (I’m using windows machines, and already losdt one week ☹ ) Best regards, SANTHU ---

You just need to add the appropriate IP / ports for each BalancerMember in the proxy balancer . Needing to think out how you would handle the rails app (some type of share or a copy on each machine), issues with caching objects created by the app are some of the points that come to mind. I might look at using DFS for any cached items that needs to be shared between all of the app servers since you are on Windows, but I’ve not deployed any rails apps on Windows before. Michael B.
