Hi Michal,
You need to configure proxy balancer and the appropriate rewrite rules.

This blog post is one of the best sources for that information.

john thanks for the reply …
is the balancer a must? because i did follow everything which is
mentioned in the agile development book and they dont talk about the
balancer…

The balancer isn’t completely necessary. You can use the ProxyPass or
ProxyReverse (I don’t recall the exact config settings right now) to
proxy
all the requests to a single mongrel instance. However, this setup
won’t
really do well in a production environment - you’ll want a balancer and
mongrel_cluster eventually.
