Ben, Thank you very much. That cleared things up for me and I am in the process of adding ferret to my project. However I am not clear on how to use the Drb server when you have multiple instances of the app. It is not the more common deployment scheme where you have multiple app servers or mongrels but share the same data. Our app will be shared but the database and the resources are private to each customer. So can we use Drb to listen on separate ports for serve different customers?
