How should I set up web servers for running in production?
The answer to this question is still open, and your answer will depend in large part with what server software you are required to use, what performance constraints you have, and how much tolerance you have for bleeding-edge code. As of summery, 2007 it appears the favored setup involves one or more instances of Apache with mod_proxy_core, or a load-balancing proxy server, speaking to multiple (possibly distributed) instances of Mongrel running Rails.
