A couple people have mentioned this, and really I'll tell you a little secret: The config loading in Mongrel2 is all abstracted away and could support anything. I haven't done anything explicitly to let you write a "config load module" but it'd be possible. In theory, since the design kept this MVC idea, you could configure out of a config file, redis, couchdb, really anything you need to get your ops mojo working. I could have easily just went with a config file as the default setup instead of sqlite3, but then where would all the FUD slingers and bikeshedders go to waste their energy? :-)
