I would like to confirm my understanding of something and then ask a  
question.  
Mongrel runs behind an HTTP server. It interacts between the http server  
and the ruby interpreter.  
Question: Where does the mongrel server begin serving requests? In other  
words, what is the comparable beginning point of index.html? If it is  
variable, where do I find this setting in my configurations of mongrel?
