As @Hansi mentioned, RServe is the best way I've found to run R remotely. If you're using Ruby from a web-context especially, RServe can offer some nice benefits.

Best of all (in my mind), you don't get locked into any one programming framework, as there are RServe clients for a variety of languages including Java and C++. When using web-accessible platforms, you can even keep Rserve running on a separate host and route traffic over TCP/IP for added security.
