We have a section on it in the Programming Ruby book. I just
translated it to XML and put it up at

   http://dev.rubycentral.com/articles/drb.html

It'll move across to the production web site soon.

The article is fairly high-level, but it does contain working programs 
that you could used as the basis for some experimentation.
