Scalling Ruby on Rails (Multisite setup)

Does anybody know how you can efficiently run multiple sites (w/ multiple domains) on Rails?

My understanding with how the bundled Rails webapp works is by installing an nginx server to then serve 1 Rails site. This seems grossly inefficient to scale to multiple sites each with it's own dedicated nginx server running in my home directory. (and chewing up my memory quota)

A though that occurred to me is; Is it possible to setup a single nginx server to then serve up the multiple Rails sites similar to Apache's concept of vHosts? (I'm assuming nginx has a concept similar to vHosts)

Anyone out there run into a similar situation or have any thoughts?
