I'm working with BIND files and DNS. Sometimes the method isn't called
from a controller. Sometimes it will be called from a cron tab and

I've just realised that because this is a dynamic finder the "power" of
method_missing is what's going to stop you from being able to alias this
method. This method appears to not be defined until method_missing catches
it and defines it then. I've tried also calling the method before aliasing
it (
Koz and Ryan,
Now that you point it out, I see how #method_missing calls find, then
find thinks I'm retarded and over writes my method by doing a class
eval. Thus removing my original code.
Am I figuring that right?
I've always had trouble generating aliases to singleton methods.

old_find_by_name(params)
