Manuel, Having never setup a multi-server web environment before, I'm a bit curious. How would the public server communicate with the private server, passing in database queries and getting results, if it can't connect directly to the database? Are we talking about building a SOAP interface between the two? Thanks, Joseph -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
