Castle ActiveRecord Integration w/ multiple databases - castle-windsor

Question

There is a way to use Castle ActiveRecord Integration (Castle.Facilities.ActiveRecordIntegration.dll) with multiple databases?
I'm already aware of using NHibernate with multiple database and ActiveRecord as well. But applied to integration facility i don't found anything.
Any suggestions?
Tks!!

It's pretty much the same as accessing multiple databases without the facility. You define a <config> element for each database (as detailed in the AR docs), e.g.:
<facility id="arfacility">
<assemblies>
<item>MyAssembly</item>
</assemblies>
<config>
<add key="connection.driver_class" value="NHibernate.Driver.SQLite20Driver" />
<add key="dialect" value="NHibernate.Dialect.SQLiteDialect" />
<add key="connection.provider" value="Castle.ActiveRecord.Testing.InMemoryConnectionProvider,Castle.ActiveRecord" />
<add key="connection.connection_string" value="Data Source=:memory:;Version=3;New=True" />
<add key="proxyfactory.factory_class" value="NHibernate.ByteCode.Castle.ProxyFactoryFactory, NHibernate.ByteCode.Castle" />
</config>
<config type="My.Secondary.Database.BaseClass, MyAssembly">
<add key="connection.driver_class" value="NHibernate.Driver.SqlClientDriver" />
<add key="dialect" value="NHibernate.Dialect.MsSql2000Dialect" />
<add key="connection.provider" value="NHibernate.Connection.DriverConnectionProvider" />
<add key="connection.connection_string" value="Data Source=.;Initial Catalog=test;Integrated Security=SSPI" />
<add key="proxyfactory.factory_class" value="NHibernate.ByteCode.Castle.ProxyFactoryFactory, NHibernate.ByteCode.Castle" />
</config>
</facility>
You can also use DifferentDatabaseScope as an alternative.
