i just noticed replies. mongrel doesn't do it for the same reason tar doesn't support encryption (pgp does!). mongrel is designed to serve requests, not balance requests or spawn itself. sure it could, but it doesn't have to. it is just as easy to have another project spawn more mongrels. That way if I want to to write software just for looking at my servers and making more mongrels, i can, very easily. Otherwise i have to look in mongrel's code.
