Maybe I am going about this all wrong.
I've been assuming that once the server is started, all modules are loaded
server-wide and variables are shared between sessions. But that may not be
the case?

So riddle me this:
If I 'include Ldap' in application.rb are the instance variables in that
module shared between all sessions, or are they unique for each session? or
for each server/service?
Could the answer depend on the service? script/server vs Apache fastcgi?

I really appreciate the advice, this is my first Rails app. but Ruby is by
far the most fun I've had programming in ... ever.
