This isn’t directly rails related…but I am hoping some of you might
have tried this for sure so why not ask.
I am using passenger with nginx to serve my rails app on a virtual
slice host. I am considering putting a reverse proxy for serving
static content as well as handling etagged actions.
1 - Can I use my existing nginx installation and just change it to a
reverse proxy? Do I even need a web server? What would a typical
architecture look like in this case?
nginx rev-proxy -> nginx web server -> passenger?
or
nginx rev-proxy -> passenger?
2 - Is nginx the best choice in this case?
3 - Can my reverse proxy reside on the same slice?
Thanks
