Read up what a mongrel cluster is. If the answer to your question is
not then obvious ask it again.

I was using mongrel_cluster in conjunction with Vlad The Impaler some
time
ago. Compared to a cloud hosting platform such as Heroku, this is quite
difficult to setup since you’ll have to set up SSH keys, think of a port
the
mongrel should run on (one that isn’t in use!) and when you have
multiple
apps, every app should have its own port. If you want multiple mongrels
per
app this means multiple port ranges.
All in all, I just moved to Heroku since it’s free anyway. I was paying
(but
not much) for the other Rails hosting, but they didn’t have any support
for
it anyway. Using mongrel_cluster is nice to play around with, but it
doesn’t
give you much in terms of convenience.
