Ax2: Having a secondary server to do long jobs

Lo,

I have some requests that take a long time to service.
Now, as Ax2 is single process, this causes a problem.
What can I do to solve this problem? I currently have

1) Some way of palming off to apache (I have no idea
   how to do this)

2) Use some flavour of Net::Server as a sort of RPC
   server and continuations

My money's on 2, but I thought I'd get everyones opinion.

John

We do 2 at my current job. We have an offline
report-generation  
server that runs using Sprocket, and farms out workers based
off a  
queue in a database table updated by the front-end. Since
reports can  
take up to 2 hours to generate it works nicely.

Use Gearman and Gearman::Task::Async. It integrates nicely
with the  
event loop.
