I think that XMLRPC:CGIServer is just another way to setup your XMLRPC 
Server. Meaning that your XMLRPC requests will go through some CGI 
capable web server like Apache, which invokes  your XMLRPC:CGIServer.

There are other ways to configure it, for example, as pure ruby 
application using XMLRPC::Server or XMLRPC::WEBrickServlet, or as a 
mod_ruby application XMLRPC::ModRubyServer.

Cheers,
Kent.
