The DRb server needs at least access to your model classes, I think the easiest way is to just deploy a copy of your whole Rails app to the DRb server. Of course you won't need your views there, but I'd find it easier to just deploy the whole app to a second place with capistrano than manually ripping the parts needed for DRb off. Btw, you don't need :remote => true anymore with the current release of aaf. Just configure your ferret_server.yml for production environment. Cheers, Jens -- Jens Krämer webit!
