 == Web Servers

 Mongrel is a Ruby-based webserver with a C component (which requires compilation) that is
 suitable for development and deployment of Rails applications. If you have Ruby Gems installed,
 getting up and running with mongrel is as easy as: <tt>gem install mongrel</tt>.
 More info at: http://mongrel.rubyforge.org
 
-Say other Ruby web servers like Thin and Ebb or regular web servers like Apache or LiteSpeed or
-Lighttpd or IIS. The Ruby web servers are run through Rack and the latter can either be setup to use
-FCGI or proxy to a pack of Mongrels/Thin/Ebb servers.
+Other ruby web servers exist which can run your rails application, however script/server does
+not search for them or start them.  These include Thin, Ebb, and Apache with mod_rails.
+
+For production use, often a web/proxy server such as Apache, LiteSpeed, Lighttpd or IIS is
+deployed as the front-end server, with the chosen ruby web server running in the back-end
+and receiving the proxied requests via one of several protocols (HTTP, CGI, FCGI).
