Hi as of now I have two sites each using one port 8080 and 8081 under  
mongrel  
and apache as the front… works ok but as a good network engineer I have  
to have tons of  
ports open, is uggly, before I can even think about having more rails  
sites on our servers I will like  
to know of a way of just having a apache+mongrel with out having to have  
one open port for each site…  
if I have 100 I dont want to have 100 open ports even if is internal on  
loopback 127.0.0.1 it looks horrible when I  
try to manage the box with any network tool. I cant wait for the day I  
can just use apache like with mod\_php and mod\_perl, is a pain to have to  
use _Another_ server in the back just for rails.  
thanks in advance for the advice.

Look into mod\_rails aka passenger by phusion.

I use it over mongrel out of pure simplicity.
