So far this solution has proven much more stable (at least on FreeBSD) and was able to handle our peak traffic of 350.000 page request per day. In practice we use up to 8 Mongrel processes on each cluster node and it seems that Apache is the bottleneck and not our application servers as before. The next step for us is to introduce another web server that handles the incoming HTTP requests and has it's own Mongrel cluster.
