Seconded.

Phusion Passenger is basically mod_rack for Apache. So you simply start 
Apache, and it takes care of accepting requests, starting up the 
appropriate number of child processes, and handing out requests to those 
processes.

Each client is talking to once process at once, so you avoid all 
threading headaches entirely.
