Hrm... I'm not convinced. Simultaneous connections is a false  
requirement. I think you could migrate via active record directly  
just fine. You just have to call establish_connection to switch dbs.  
Either that, or you use YAML to dump your data as fixtures and load  
them into the new environment.
