I think so.  I set up both client and standalone server as suggested
in the howto, just replaced call with multicall, but got an exception:

irb(main):007:0> server.multicall (['sample.sumAndDifference', 3, 4], ['sample.sumAndDifference', 8, 1])
/usr/lib/ruby/1.6/xmlrpc/client.rb:409:in `multicall': XMLRPC::FaultException (XMLRPC::FaultException)
        from (irb):7:in `irb_binding'
        from /usr/lib/ruby/1.6/irb/workspace-binding.rb:46:in `irb_binding'
        from /usr/lib/ruby/1.6/irb/workspace-binding.rb:46

Is this because XMLRPC::Server does not support connection alive?

Tuple space would be no different, so this is not a(n extra) problem.

Thanks.
