  A famous aphorism of Butler Lampson goes:

    All problems in computer science can be solved
    by another level of indirection.

I like it.  One nice thing about the approach is that I can
have an arbitrary number of RoR (or whatever) servers.  All
I have to do to add a server is (basically) assign a unique
port number and create a new virtual host.

Anyone have any caveats to offer about this approach?
