MultiSSH, do you mean this one: http://oss.linbit.com/multissh/? Or  
something else?

Alas, documentation is really Capistrano's achilles heel right now.  
The "best" way to learn about the predefined tasks is via "cap -T",  
and then "cap -e taskname" for each task, to read about what they do.  
The best way to learn about the predefined variables is to look  
through capistrano/recipes/deploy.rb.

Not what you wanted to hear, I'm sure.
