In response to Martin's suggestion, if you DID want a fairly simple way to provide light-weight web access to R, Rpad would be a good choice. I actually run SQL Server 2005, Apache, and R/Rpad on the same server, but the usage is very light in terms of number of users. It was pretty quick to set up and making a new Rpad page is really easy.

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.
