frontend -> backend -> dbserver -> backend -> frontend vs. frontend -> dbserver -> frontend If you were a simple query, which would you prefer to do? =) I am still planning on writing sqlite-based 'mythdbserver' at some point shortly after 0.19, though, so it'll use the same wire protocol / connection stuff as normal frontend/backend communication.
