Right now, i got to create a simple real time auction system for my  
company.

The rtmp servers which can do this work (finely) right now are FMS and  
Red5.

There is some plugin for rails and/or ruby which provide methods to  
interface my application with this servers?

Thank you for your reading

Have you looked at this page:  
[http://flexonrails.net/?p=64](http://flexonrails.net/?p=64)

It looks like JRuby might be the way to go here since Red 5 is  
apparently written in Java.
