1. The best way to go would be the Recurring Billing Rails Kit from Ben Curtis:

   http://railskits.com/saas/

   It's a Rails app that you can build on to make your own billing application. An accompanying PeepCode screencast is in the works that shows you how to use the Rails Kit.

2. The screencast doesn't mention scaling out, but it would work similarly to how mongrel does. Add load balancer on the front and point it to a bunch of machines with Apache and mod_rails (you need to run the whole stack since mod_rails can't be extracted from Apache).
