You might look at the LDAP extension for some ideas. KCKCC.edu uses (or used) the extension to hit an LDAP server on another machine. The concept is basically the same -- wrap the external service in some object semantics you can live with, then write tags that allow you to display the data. Other than that, I have no experience interfacing with web services. If your backend Rails app is RESTful, ActiveResource should do the trick.
