Hi Michael. I don't think that apache is the best choice to handle rails 
applications. However in case of Share hosting environment it would be fine.
I see three choices here:
1) Apache2 + mod_proxy_balancer + mongrel (The best way IMHO)
2) Apache2 + fast_cgi (Could have some problems, due to mostly 
unmaintainable nature of fast_cgi)
3) Apache2 + cgi (Absolutely workable, but VERY slow case)
