We want to use rails in a load balanced environment - i.e. the same  
application is load balanced on 2 different servers. The Aaf DRb Server  
should only run on one of the machines but serve both. I thought, that  
would be easy to accomplish using the host: [domain.com](http://domain.com) setting in  
ferret\_server.yml. For some reason, the DRb server only listens on the  
localhost loopback interface, remote requests are not accepted.

What is it, that I am overlooking?

Thanks, Bernd Eickhoff
