Rails is a MVC (Model View Controller) pattern
ROR is a standalone binary (dll/so) which implements as Apache mod_ruby module the suggested conf
http://wiki.modruby.net/en/?InstallGuide
LoadModule ruby_module /usr/local/apache/libexec/mod_ruby.so
## On Linux (FC3) this becomes
# LoadModule ruby_module /usr/lib/httpd/modules/mod_ruby.so
# ClearModuleList
# AddModule mod_ruby.c
<IfModule mod_ruby.c>
 RubyRequire apache/ruby-run
 # Execute files under /ruby as Ruby scripts
 <Location /ruby>
 SetHandler ruby-object
 RubyHandler Apache::RubyRun.instance
 </Location>
 # Execute *.rbx files as Ruby scripts
 <Files *.rbx>
 SetHandler ruby-object
 RubyHandler Apache::RubyRun.instance
 </Files>
</IfModule><VirtualHost www.yourhost.com>
ServerName www.yourhost.com
ServerAlias yourhost.com
DocumentRoot "/usr/local/railapps/public"
</VirtualHost>

where
/usr/local/railapps/public contains .htaccess
.htaccess contains
dispatch.cgi (CGI interpreter controller)
dispatch.fcgi
dispatch.rb (Ruby Interpreter controller)

http://www.yourhost.com/Controller/Action/requestID

Dispatcher looks at ending suffix if .rb then use dispatch.rb
The Dispatcher contains all the controllers
The controller calls the Action with referenced id

David Black has an excellent book on the subject which i strongly recommend
As ruby follows CGI it would make sense that Ruby (and Perl and Php) (.rb) would route thru CGIServlet
