...I'm probably missing something obvious, but what is ".so"?
I have read the post, btw (liked it - I usually like Rachel's posts) - but still don't understand what .so is.

In this context, I believe .so is the file extension for extensions that can be loaded by web servers during runtime. I think the person in the story was trying to change the Apache2 configuration of all FE servers to load the wanted client library / .so file.
For example libc is a .so file. In windows, think .DLL.
