   Thanks for having this in the works! I am looking forward to getting this.
   It would be cool if scaling using mod_rails could also be covered in this screencast. (Scaling up and scaling out) Mod_rails makes scaling-up quite straightforward. Increase the size of the server (and memory) and mod_rails handles it gracefully. How would one scale-out using mod_rails, i.e. adding more servers or slices?

   The screencast doesn't mention scaling out, but it would work similarly to how mongrel does. Add load balancer on the front and point it to a bunch of machines with Apache and mod_rails (you need to run the whole stack since mod_rails can't be extracted from Apache).

   Thanks for the excellent mod_rails screencast and also for this reply. Much appreciated!
