Can you elaborate a bit more about the reson why you want this? MMBase allow(ed?) to run the MMBase cloud over multiple machines the folowing link tells you a bit about it(practicaly) http://carlit.mine.nu/~mmbase/fom-serve/cache/14.html more generaly http://carlit.mine.nu/~mmbase/fom-serve/cache/33.html presentation about mmbase (idea's behind) if is preformance/scalability you want you might want to play with mysql 4.0 master/slave databases (tell us how is goes :) ) > > If it is possible to do this, would it be possible to make the > DB-connection for the "slave" MMBase server read-only? Yes. since not all de configuration are stored in mmbase it is possible to connect to the database with other acces rights to the dabase. but this can also be done in mmbase (the default behaviour of the default security manager does not allow anomimouse users to create new nodes). is the site that static? greets > > If it matters, we will probably choose Apache/Tomcat and PostgreSQL.
