"Using compass and sass to generate css, how do we get line numbers in the compiled css indicating the corresponding sass declaration?"

The suggested answer is using the non-silent variety of sass comments in an old skool pragma-mark type fashion.

"Is there a canonical setup for dealing with failover when you have two HA proxy load balancers and round-robin DNS across their two IP addresses?"

  • Regarding compass, sass, and line numbers, Chris Eppstein dropped some knowledge in the comments section on the 4/7/09 entry:
    config.after_initialize do
      Sass::Plugin.options[:line_comments] = true
    end

That will grants you wondrous and magical comments in your css. Cheers, Chris!
