Lighttpd + proxy + page cache

casper_the_ghost · September 12, 2006, 3:53pm

Hi,

I am considering using a proxy solution (whether be it
lighttpd-mod_proxy_core or Pen or Pound) alongside with Mongrel. But I
also like caching pages into static html files and serving them
directly with lighttpd (when using fcgi as 404-error-handler).

Can I do this 404 method alongside with proxy? If yes how?

Thanks in advance,
Onur T.

Hey Onur-

You may want to look at nginx. Its a fast web server with a good

proxy module. It works great as a front for mongrel clusters. And it
will do the right thing and serve static and rails page cached files
directly.
