Hi,

I'm currently running mod_proxy_balancer proxying to two app servers running 6 mongrel processes each.

Unfortunately I have some slow requests in my application. Since apache doesn't distribute the requests very clever I am getting long loading times for some of the requests (apache sends a new requests to a mongrel process who is busy answering another request). The problem is described in more detail in the mongrel list:

http://rubyforge.org/pipermail/mongrel-users/2006-September/001653.html

I was wondering if nginx has a smarter way of distributing the httpd requests than apache and could help me here?

thanks, Florian
