Hi ~

If I understand the current proxying system correctly, it is just a simple round robin. So when a request comes in the requests are handed out from the first process and so on. This can cause a request to be "stuck" in line. There is a fair scheduler in the works, more info here:

As far as monitoring the individual processes, I will often just pop into the box and take a look via various *nix tools.

hi am using nginx with multiple fastcgi backends.. is there any way i can monitor how the load is distributed to the backends? i am using nginx_status.. but that does not show any status about the backends?

location /nginx_status { stub_status on; access_log off; }
