mod_rails hosting

I was wondering what I would need to do to get my site hosted with mod_rails? Currently I'm on Mongrel. I've read the instructions that all you need to do is symlink the ~/public_html folder to your Rails public folder, but I'm using a subdomain, so I'm wondering what else would need to be done in this case? If there is anything to be done at all, besides just symlinking my Rails public folder to my subdomain folder.

First you'd need to make sure you were on a server that had mod_rails installed.  Right now we are still testing it out so only our newest clients have access.

Functionally, all you'd need to do is have support change your domain's vhost away from mongrel to mod_rails, and that's it.  As the as the DocumentRoot of the domain is pointed to your RAILS_ROOT/public (even via symlink) then it will work.
