Hi,  
I’d like to host several sites with radiant using mod\_proxy+mongrel  
instead of FCGI+Webrick. Clearly I’d like to ma several domain to  
several mongrel instances. For example:

www.domain1:80 —\> mongrel:8100 (site1)  
www.domain2:80 —\> mongrel:8200 (site2)  
and so on…

is this compatible with TextDrive/Dreamhost/Site5 hosting? Or they use  
only FCGI+Webrick?  
tnx

Textdrive uses Apache+FCGI (FCGI and WEBrick don’t go together).  
However,  
they usually recommend that you request a local port and run lighttpd  
instead because it’s more stable. You could, however, run Mongrel as an  
alternative to FCGI with lighttpd, I just wouldn’t let it serve static  
files  
like images. FYI [seancribbs.com](http://seancribbs.com) runs lighttpd with only one FCGI  
instance.
