Hi Keith,

I'm new on the list too, and certainly wouldn't call myself a Rails  
expert, but I believe models are only loaded once: when the  
application starts. So the only way I know of to do this is to  
restart your application. Depending on your server setup there are  
different ways of doing this. For example on Apache/mod_fastcgi you  
can simply:
	
	$> touch ./public/dispatch.fcgi

to get the application restarted and the models re-loaded. Of course  
this will restart all of your fcgi processes too, so the next person  
too your site will have to wait a bit longer for a response than usual.
