DRb is a way to for Ruby programs to communicate between processes. In the context of Ferret it means to set up one server process that does all the indexing (and searching). The 'real' application processes (e.g. Mongrel instances) only access the index through this DRb server. This usually eliminates all the locking problems that might arise since now always only one process is accessing the index. If you use acts_as_ferret, you can use the built-in DRb server: http://projects.jkraemer.net/acts_as_ferret/wiki/DrbServer Jens -- Jens Krämer webit!
