Kirk,

This is a great idea. It seems you'd have a headache on the front end with=
=20
the Apache proxy server, but some careful management of that might prove=20
helpful.

My company provides mod_ruby and mod_fastcgi, but we do recommend people=20
develop on their machines, or with fcgi off. Turning fcgi off in Rails v13+=
=20
isn't so bad, as they've really speed up the core.

We're working a script to kill off processes that are in their name, but it=
s=20
not yet done, because even though you can say "Don't develop on this=20
machine, or don't have fcgi on if you do so", people still will from time t=
o=20
time :)
