until fair proxy balancer is production ready (http://www.brainspl.at/articles/2007/11/09/a-fair-proxy-bala...), i really like nginx in front of haproxy in front of the mongrels

nginx => haproxy => mongrels

Doesn't hashing on a cookie from each server give you fairness?

i prefer a proxy balancer that is smart enough to know when the back-end servers (mongrels in this case) are busy or not, and smart enough that it doesn't send requests to back-end servers that are down (i'm looking at you, apache mod_proxy_balancer)
