Is it possible to 2 have two seperate rails applications on the same  
server and use either link\_to\_remote or form\_remote\_tag to submit a form  
on the external app and process the response in the referring app?

I was playing with these and noticed in the api that some :url entries  
took a string for the action. I tried :url =\> “[http://localhost](http://localhost):/action/…” but it does nothing.

any help would be greatly appreciated
