It's common to use a web server like Apache httpd that can listen
on multiple ports, e.g. both 80 (http) and 443 (https) and proxy
requests to a back-end Rails server like thin, mongrel, unicorn. It's
not hard to configure and there are plenty of tutorials, I'm sure.
(You can also use nginx, squid, or some other proxy.)

And some people use Passenger (mod_rails) which gives you an
integrated Rails server with Apache httpd or nginx, eliminating the
backend/proxy part. Less flexible but fewer moving parts...

Either approach will work in production, so I'd look into both and
see what feels best to you.
