Use Delayed::Job to manage multiple job queues

Question

I want to use Delayed::Job (or perhaps a more appropriate job queue to my problem) to dispatch jobs to multiple background daemons.

I have several background daemons that carry out different responsibilities. Each one is interested in different jobs in the queue from the Rails app. Is this possible using Delayed::Job, or perhaps there is a different job queue that better fits this task?

Since then http://github.com/collectiveidea/delayed_job has reached v3.0 and includes named queues! Excellent for simple grouped queue needs.
