Here's another question regarding threads and DRb:

Every second, a function in the class that's being made available via
DRb should be called automatically.  How would I do that?

So I'd have

class Server
  def update
    # stuff gets updated
  end
end

server = DRb.start_service....
# start threads that call server.update every second 
DRb.thread.join
