Have an app that works fine in development but not production behind  
pound that uses Geokit. I’ve figured out the API key is wrong. is  
there a way to configure each mongrel with a different API key? if  
there a variable i can check in the initializer and provide the right  
API key for that port since it’s going to be based on the internal  
address:port the connection is on?
