David and Mukund seem to have answered your second question. I'll  
focus on this one.

I'd rephrase your question a bit:

1. A typical rails application defines three environments -  
development, test, production.
- Can I define others?

  Yes, you can.  I've had "staging", "fabrication", and  
"production_LIVE" environments on various projects in addition to the  
standard three.

- Is there a limit?

  No, not really. You do have to keep a config/environments/staging.rb  
(or whatever your environment is called) and the corresponding section  
of the database.yml file, but that doesn't put a limit on how many  
environments you can have. The real limit is probably your ability to  
give them names that you can keep straight.
