Hi all,

Is it possible to have one mogrel (or mongrel cluster) serve more than  
one rails application?

I have quite a few low-traffic rails applications and I just don’t  
like the idea of having one or more processes running for each of  
them, especially if each process using around 50MB of memory. Ideally,  
I’d like to have between 1 and 3 mongrels serving up all my Rails apps  
(at least for now).

Is this possible? Any ideas?

Joel.
