+Demo for the talk "Distributed Systems with Rack"
+-------------------------------------------------
+
+This is the complete code for my Scottish Ruby Conference talk. It demonstrates the idea
+of having a website generated by multiple distinct and distributed services.  For the
+purposes of the demo, we have a server application which assigns roles to computers that
+connect.  In reality, you'd probably have a legitimate proxy server sit in front of the
+clusters of nodes...
+
+In our case though, we keep a list of clients that are connected, and which roles
+they've been assigned to. When we want to generate a page, we determine which roles are
+necessary, pick one of the clients from each role at random, and use Nginx to combine
+the results into a single page.
+
+
+
+Client Startup
+--------------
+
+ruby client.rb 1.2.3.4:9876
+
+
+
+Server Startup
+--------------
+
+nginx -c /path/to/distributed_demo/nginx/nginx.conf
+ruby server.rb 9876
+

+Cheers,
