Rails - Nov 2006 - Detect Application Server

I am working on a ruby app where the user fills out a form that gets
sent via email.  Sometimes I work on the app at my computer at home and
other times at work.  I need to setup the development environment so
that the app detects which server it is currently running on and uses
the appropriate smtp host.  I am relatively new to Ruby on Rails, so am
not sure of the best way to do this.  Thanks for any help.

I would probably keep it simple and just check the hostname of the
machine by making a system call in development.rb

`hostname` # => ''dev_box1''

Hope this helps.

Or you could have 2 environements, development_home, and development 
office, with the majority of settings being common, but with different 
smtp stuff.
