Does anyone know what it means when DRb throws an error saying  
“connection reset by peer”? I have looked through the ruby code for DRb  
and cannot find where this is thrown.

I think it usually means the other end hung up on you. Maybe there’s a  
firewall in the way, or some kind of traffic management going on?
