How to Bind to Interface in Mongrel
The Mongrel server enables web developers to work with a wide array of programming languages and frameworks, and features support for several operating systems. Mongrel provides web sockets for managing hypertext transfer protocol requests and responses. The application can be run in multiple instances, or a "cluster," and attached to several proxies at once. And if you want Mongrel to work with a particular proxy, you can bind the program the proxy's Internet protocol — IP — address and port number.
