I know it's not standard Rails procedure, but these days when I deploy 
apps I sometimes don't deploy with any sort of a conventional web server 
at all.  I've found that I can serve static assets amply fast enough 
without it (3500+ small files/second on a commodity 64 bit AMD Linux box), 
and I like the simplicity of a system that doesn't incorporate a 
traditional web server at all in the request handling chain.
