Hi Josuah RWebServices might be a different approach. It allows R functions and methods to be deployed as SOAP-based web services, and relies on an underlying Java architecture that uses JMS to separate the web services front end from a collection of R workers (on different machines). This seems more scalable than putting the R workers on the same machine as the Apache server.
Entry point here: http://bioconductor.org/packages/2.0/bioc/html/RWebServices.html There is quite a learning curve and technology commitment associated with this, so not the best solution for providing light-weight web access to R.
