FastCGI

When you have a backend server like Ruby or PHP which has a FastCGI connection, you can use the <resin:FastCgiProxy> dispatch tag to dispatch to that backend.

Since Resin's FastCgiProxy uses load balancing automatically, you can balance the load across multiple servers.

• serves HTTP from port 80
• changes user to "resin" from root
• enables proxy caching
• FastCgiProxy load balances to 192.168.1.10:7000 and 192.168.1.10:7000

FastCgiProxy dispatch in resin.xml

The FastCgiProxy is part of Resin's rewrite-dispatch capability.
