Rails - May 2005 - lighttpd + fastcgi + multiple vhosts?

I''ve finally got lighttpd+fastcgi+rails working, and I also got it
setup
with one virtual host (via the simple-vhost module). Now I''m wondering 
if there''s an easy way to setup fastcgi processes for different rails 
apps. The quickest way seems to be using a different extension for each 
rails app, but that seems messy. Is there a cleaner, easier solution?

Yes, there is: using conditionals in lighttpd config file:

$HTTP["host"] =~ "admin.domain.tld" {
         server.document-root = "/path/to/your/site/a/public"
         server.error-handler-404 = "/dispatch.fcgi"

         fastcgi.server = ( ".fcgi" =>
           ( "first_app" =>
               (
                 "min-procs" => 5,
                 "max-procs" => 5,
                 "socket"   => "/tmp/site_a.fcgi.socket",
                 "bin-path" => 
"/path/to/your/site/a/public/dispatch.fcgi"
                 "bin-environment" => ( "RAILS_ENV" =>
"production" )
               )
           )
         )
}

$HTTP["host"] =~ "domain.tld" {
         server.document-root = "/path/to/your/site/b/public"
         server.error-handler-404 = "/dispatch.fcgi"

         fastcgi.server = ( ".fcgi" =>
           ( "second_app" =>
               (
                 "min-procs" => 5,
                 "max-procs" => 5,
                 "socket"   => "/tmp/site_b.fcgi.socket",
                 "bin-path" => 
"/path/to/your/site/b/public/dispatch.fcgi"
                 "bin-environment" => ( "RAILS_ENV" =>
"production" )
               )
           )
         )
}

Why can''t you just configure lighttpd to send .rb scripts to ruby
through
fastcgi then use dispatch.rb scripts like the dispatch.fcgi without the 
shebang? Would this method remove some advantage of fastcgi or rails? The 
published method seems very clumsy for multiple vhosts.
