The main downside to passenger, is that when things go wrong, it can be a bit 
'thar be monsters in here!'

It's a bit of a mysterious technology which isn't very well documented when 
stuff doesn't work, or at least it wasn't when I was playing with it about 8 
months ago. I ended up settling on thins to get away from passenger, though for 
a while I was using passenger on my local mac apache instance for testing.
