No offense, but that entire post was completely useless with regards
to my original message.

in a round about way he seems to be asking 'why'? which is not totally invalid.


This is nothing to do with domain names, I was simply asking if anyone had experience of handling one site spread across multiple remote located servers from a PHP/SQL perspective (syncing content, user accounts, etc).

I don't have any answers, but maybe some questions might be useful:

do you want/need a master/slave configuration
or true decentralisation and/or two way syncing?

what definition of 'seamless' have you been given?

what kind of content?

sounds like a costly undertaking, not to be taken lightly...
I'm interested to understand the requirement that dictates
such server redundancy. Given the implied cost,
planning/implementation should probably left to a company
who already knows the answers to your questions :-/?

anyway interesting problem you have before you!


Best regards,

Richard Davey
