Yep, assuming you've got things that are static in a /static/ then take
a look at the examples/configs/mongrel2.conf for how to do it. I use it
on my sites.
Another pattern I use with Tir is to have each major route for the
application be something like /Login or /Person, and then have all
static content be /mypage.html and so on. Since app routes are always
uppercase and content routes are lowercase, and since Mongrel2 routing
is case-sensitive, you never clash. Takes more config but it definitely
gives you more flexibility later.
