Running a proxi server in Rails3

Question

Since rails does not have a mechanism for multi-threading, what is the common good-practice of handling multiple requests at the same time?

Is it usually done by having Apache redirect to something called "Mongrel" or is that different in the Rails3 architecture with the more current solution called something like Rack?

My application does not have to handle thousands of users, but it does have to handle minimal concurrency in an elegant manner.

Thanks!

Yes, this is the job of the rack server. You might look into unicorn or thin as alternatives to mongrel.
