Definitely definitely do that, that's one of the first things we did
when we actually started using MogileFS in a serious way on LJ.
Apache2 works, lighttpd works, whatever can do GETs in a quick way
will work!

Not built in, but you should be able to determine this by just
understanding your traffic.  Unless you are overwriting files
constantly, or serving as a backup service where people don't get
their data often, there's only a few writes per file.  One to insert,
N to replicate up to mindevcount, and then many reads for serving.
The files aren't touched again (unless you do something with fsck or
rebalancing, but even then you're still heavily on the side of reads
for most usage).
