So I have the following:

role :app, "app1", "app2" # Two physically separate boxes running mongrels
(Ubuntu Server)
role :web, "www" # Physically separate Apache 2.2.4 box running
mod_proxy_balancer (Ubuntu Server)
role :db,  "db1", :primary => true # Physically separate box running mysql
5.x (Fedora)

The problem is that it tries to run the migrations from db1 which does *not*
have ruby (or rake) installed. It is just a Database box.

The questions:
1). Why do I need to define that as a role if I could run `rake db:migrate
RAILS_ENV=production` from any of the app boxes? Is there something else to
the role :db than meets the eye?
2). What would be the best way to make this work with a clustered
environment like the one mentioned above?
3). (Not related to DBs) At what point in time does the deploy take care of
creating or renaming the database.yml.example to database.yml? In my repo I
have a database.yml.example... do I have to write my own task that runs at
some point in time and renames this file on a deploy:cold ?
4). The maintenance.html (web:disable and web:enable)... how are you guys
making that file show up? Is there something on your apache/nginx/lighty
vhost?

Sorry I'm new to capistrano and especially new to Cap 2.

TIA,

Ro
