Sorry, can't help.

FastCGI isn't an implementation ... it's a (loosely) defined protocol
standard, also it's often used as a name for simplest application server
technology.
Though, there is mod_fastcgi for apache. It's works with anything what
supports the fastcgi protocol (really only a subset of it).

And URL does not matter - if you want it to look nicer, you may use
mod_rewrite (though it's slow), but it totally depends on apache+mod_fastcgi
config and has nothing to do with fastcgi protocol, technology or ruby
scripts.
