What about this little name server?

  require "drb/drb"

  class Registry
    def initialize
      @hash = {}
    end

    def [](key)
      @hash[key]
    end

    def []=(key, val)
      @hash[key] = val
    end
  end

  reg = Registry.new
  reg["firstObject"] = String.new "Test"
  reg["otherObject"] = Array.new

  primary = DRb::DRbServer.new("druby://0.0.0.0:5555", reg)
  puts primary.uri
  primary.thread.join


The client can now call [] on the remote object to get a reference to one
of the two registered objects.
