Hi,

I am using a mongrel cluster of 3 mongrels behind an nginx server for  
deployment.  
I am using god to watch the mongrels using mongrel\_rails  
cluster::restart.

The question I have is when mongrel\_rails cluster::restart gets  
called,  
does it immediately kill the mongrel or does it wait till the requests  
the mongrel is currently processing gets rendered or redirected? If  
that  
is not default behavior, is there a way to do it / even necessary?

Thanks,  
Arun
