Yes that would certainly work!

What you will need on BackgrounDRb server is the backgroundrb.yml file
and your rails application ( because you want access to your rails
environment in BackgrounDRB workers ). You won''t need to run any
mongrels on that machine and on machines running mongrels you can just
point ip of BackgrounDRB server in backgroundrb.yml file and it should
suffice. Let us know, how it goes for you!
