Subject: Re: [ANN] Mongrel 0.1.0 -- A Fast As Hell Mostly Ruby Web Server

My initial thought on the goal would be to make a system that worked  
well for production deployment, but in the past when I've done this  
it also solved problems for development deployments.  I can't see why  
you wouldn't be able to do what you describe.  About the only thing I  
can think of is I'd be making decisions based on performance over  
ease of use when there's a conflict there.

Anyway, stay tuned for more.
