Actually I wrote a new chunk of code based on Ara's snippet that for direct
calls does EXACTLY what I want it to ... I'll be posting it later today ...
I just have to deal with stuff like blah.call.call2.call3 ... which I don't
believe will currently work ... I'll have to dig through and see how DRb
makes it work ...
 DRbObjects don't work ... call methods or call respond_to? ... they are NO=
T
calls on the remote object ... I don't believe ANY call on a proxied object
should be local, they should ALL be passed over the wire ( and yes, I know
that at least id and send can't, but everything other than those ).
 I really think you guys will like the stuff I have ... So far, I'm calling
it Roxy ...
 Thanks.
