These are a good start, but what I'm really trying to do is come up with a
completely clean way to do DRb ...

Don't get me wrong, I love DRb for what it is, but I want transparent proxy=
.

So, I want to be able to do DRb::Proxy.new( "druby://add.ress:1234" )

and get back an object I can call methods on ... that will report it self a=
s
whatever the Proxy is proxying not DRbObject ...

Does that make sense? I am wanting to be able to use irb with DRb and get
live auto-completion across the wire ...

I figure a transparent proxy is the ONLY way ...

let me know if I'm going down the wrong path.
