Subject: druby - How to close connection from client?

I need to disconnect explicitly from a druby client.

My code is like:

DRb.start_service
@drb = DRbObject.new(nil, 'druby://localhost:7777')
@drb.dosomething(param1, param2, param3)
...(here I'd like to disconnect!!)...


Background:
I am using druby to communicate between a Rails application running on 
lighttpd/FreeBSD6 and a server-script running on the same box with different 
user rights.

I noticed that the longer I run the webserver the more sockets stay open, 
"sockstat | grep ruby" gives me hundreds of:

> www      ruby18     26179 10 tcp4   *:51359               *:*
> www      ruby18     26179 11 tcp4   *:57690               *:*
> www      ruby18     26179 12 tcp4   *:53473               *:*

I assume that every time I run the druby client on the website a connection 
remains open. They get all cleared if I restart lighttpd.

Thanks.
