I prefer to disable httpd dynamic module loading on my production server.

I've been using mod_jk linked statically into httpd for quite a long time and it proved to be stable.

Now I would like to add Ruby Passenger (mod_rails/mod_rack) to my httpd.

I wonder if it is possible to link it statically into Apache httpd the same way too? (without producing a huge httpd)

If it is, are there any potential pitfalls, safety or performance concerns having both mod_jk and mod_rails within the same executable?

Thanks
