So, one of the drawbacks to using scripty languages for web apps is clustering, right? Here is a clustered session store for RoR:

require 'drb'

DRb.thread.join

Of course that is just the DRb store, there are a bunch of other options, and a nice look at their performance characteristics by Scott Barron =)
