Hi!

I want to write a webserver, that stores a hash in RAM, and allows me to  
access that hash seamlessly across all requests.

What webserver do you recommend? merb? Something stable and light.

And how would I store objects in RAM? I would rather no use memcached,  
and instead let the ruby process simple store the hash structure in RAM  
itself.

ty,  
Herb
