I recently got a VPS, and began to setup the typical Rails + Apache Mod_Proxy_Balancer + Mongrel Cluster, but then I discovered a better, less demanding solution. If anyone is interested in nginx, please let me know.

Comprug,
I know this a little late in coming, but I would love to hear about your Rails setup. As a technician, I deal with Rails tickets less often than most, but it's always good to see a new twist on an old configuration!

Ngnix is a beautiful thing, and can be used to Proxy virtually anything. I would be interested in your experiences!

I got rid of that VPS a while ago, because I don't need it anymore. That being said, the (current) ideal configuration for Ruby on Rails is:
Ruby Enterprise Edition (Reduces memory footprint 33%)
Nginx (or apache)
Phusion Passenger
The memory footprint is a great deal smaller than that of Mongrel, and even of FastCGI. A bunch of rails hosts are now even running it in the shared environment.
To install (for Apache):
First install Ruby Enterprise Edition (http://www.rubyenterpriseedition.com/)
Install Passenger with the following:
gem install passenger
passenger-install-apache2-module
Passenger will automatically detect REE.
And that's it.
