is meteorserver a good fit for my needs and has anyone used it with ruby on rails?

[rubybox]

Im in the need of having multiple clients (looking up) with the server if there is anything in a "queue" to be executed. So the client checks regularly => server for new stuff

Currently I'm using faye with redis. Faye allows to create channels and subscribe to them and send data to them from the server => client.

The problem is this is not solid, on browser reloads the data could be lost.

Would meteor server be a good fit for my needs because it allows a client to check every x seconds for data ? 

Im totally confused between the differences on faye and meteor server, they seem to do a lot of the same stuff.
