Hey guys. Per my IT department''s policies, I need to have two separate
database users for my rails database - one for public intarweb
functionality, one for authenticated users'' functionality. The naive
way
to accomodate this would be to break the app up into two separate apps,
but since they share the same models and resources, DRY suggests this
isn''t the proper thing to do.

Ideally, I''d like to have two separate database.yml files, and choose
between them on a controller-by-controller basis. If this is a good
strategy, how might I go about doing it? If not, how would y''all
suggest
I structure my app?
