Best practices for running Wordpress on the same domain as Rails app

What's the best way to run Wordpress on the same domain as a Rails application? I've got a standard Rails app with Nginx and Mongrel running at http _ mydomain. I need to run a Wordpress blog at http _ mydomain _ com _ blog. My preference would be to host the blog in Apache running on either the same server or a separate box but I don't want the user to see a different server in the URL. Is that possible and if not, what would you recommend to accomplish the goal? 5 Answers Actually, since you're using Nginx, you're already in great shape and don't need Apache.
