Hello,  
I just build my new Rails application, i placed the website like  
that : at

[http://www](http://www).\*\*\*.net/ = /var/www/devkedare/public/ (with mod\_rails)

[http://media](http://media).\*\*\*.net/ = /var/www/media/

I want to use the javascript :cache features, the “timed” files to  
prevent caching when file change (ex: x.js?1249517571), and all others  
greats files features,  
I configured the asset\_host to use the media domain, and it work, but  
how to tell to rails to use that directory (/var/www/media) and no /  
var/www/devkedare/public/ like how it do and to continue to use all  
the functions that it provide when the files are places at public/  
Is there a way to do that ?  
Thanks 🙂

Sorry for my bad english
