Why bother to export, mirror, and export a snapshot of the DB when MySQL supports user management and TCP/IP connections just fine? Just create a restricted user account that is only allowed to select stuff and can only connect from archlinux.de and archlinuxfr.org and you are all set. To reduce traffic and latency, you could just cache the query results. IMHO that's a much cleaner solution. - Askadar _______________________________________________ arch mailing list [email protected] http://www.archlinux.org/mailman/listinfo/arch
