Hi

I have successfuly set up Apache 2.26+a pack of 4 mongrels on a  
Wndows 2003 Server.

Looking at the Balancer-Manager,there are certain info displayed for  
each mongrel process such as

Worker URL : [http://127.0.0.1:9001](http://127.0.0.1:9001)  
Route : 1  
Route Redir Factor Set :0  
Status : OK  
Elected : 237  
To :150K

> From :1.3M

Apart from Worker URL and Status, what does the rest mean ?

Are there any docs or resources that can explain how to use the  
balancer-manager effectively ?
