Can you tell me the easyest way to share a public variable (hash)  
between Mongrel instances on the same computer.

I know, but loading it in every session would take too much memory and  
database would probably take too much time.

An example would tell more than 1000 words.

Thank you  
TheR

Use memcached or a simple DRb server?
