Wes, Yes, I'm trying to display the elb_id on the Instances page. I got it to display as a virtual column, so I guess I'm set there.
The "Create New" icon is showing up in both the Instances scaffold (under the elb column) and the ELBs scaffold (under the instance column.) As for searching and sorting these columns, I'm still having trouble. For sorting, I think I need to either write a helper method or use conf.columns[:elb_column].sort_by :sql => "" in the controller. For searching, I must have to use a search helper method because I don't see where to get this done unless I use this in the controller: conf.columns[:elb_column].search_sql = "".
