>Ever had to split a website + SQL Tables ?

Splitting a web site does not, by itself, require using more than
one MySQL server.

This does not require more than one web server. You can host
thousands of domains on a single web server. (A single domain,
e.g. google.com, can have lots more traffic than a thousand low-traffic
domains).

Splitting a web server does not require using more than one MySQL server.
If you are attempting to do cross-joins between the databases for two
different domains, it would work better to put them on the same MySQL
server.

Why do you *HAVE* to split the database server?

>xoaks.bobby.com can be host on SERVER 1.

Yes, you can have separate web servers on separate machines for
separate domains. A MySQL server doesn't know anything about domains,
so you don't HAVE to split it, but you might want to. Or not.

The web servers on BOTH machines could use the MySQL server on
either machine (or an entirely separate one).
