Hi,  
this may be a stupid question but , just want to ask anyway…  
I have a working rails application and capistrano deploy setup (cap  
deploy works great)  
on one machine…I want to add more machines preferably one for web  
server  
and another for a db.  
What steps do I need to take to make this work…before just adding the  
domain names  
in the capfile and running cap deploy…

I am especially doubtful about the database machine…should both the  
app and the db machines have copies of the rails app? ( i need to run  
some daemons which I think i will run from the db machine)

Are there any resources out there?  
thanks  
Vivek
