[Mongrel] Multiple rails apps with Mongrel

if I was smart and knowledgeable enough I''m sure I could :-)
but I was hoping for a bit of a simpler solution.

Running multiple Rails apps on the same domain is something that in general
seems quite tough to do. I think this is an issue that needs resolving by
the rails-gods at some point as it could be hindrance to rails growth.
Otherwise it''s easy to draw comparisons with PHP where you just stick
your
apps in different folders under your Document Root (or use symlinks) and
voila. Don''t get be wrong, I''m definitely a Rails fan, and
this isn''t meant
as a Rails vs PHP, but just pointing out something that is quite tricky in
Rails - a framework which thrives on simplicity. It seems it should be as
(relatively) straightforward as the rest of Rails is. Especially because
Rails lends itself to creating little apps that each do their own thing
well, but then at some point you want to combine them or mix and match, etc.
