Friends-

```
I have put up a small tutorial about my experimentations with

```

mongrel clusters behind an HTTP load balancer with no front web  
server like lighty or apache. This little setup is extremely powerful  
for how easy it is to set up. I would love for more folks to  
experiment with this type of setup to expose any issues it may have  
as a production environment. I have had zero issues with it so far  
and I am able to get 800-1000 req/sec for static assets and 70-140  
req/sec for full blown dynamic rails pages.

Let me know what you think.

Cheers-
