Load balancing question

[Dymerius]

In trying to cope with my machine's limited availability of upstream bandwidth, I was contemplating hosting several zone servers on an off-site computer to help preserve bandwidth on the local one. Is this possible? If so, how would I go about doing so? The XML?

Thanks in advance.

You'd have to open ports and provide forwarding to your world server for off-site zones, too. Speculation at best, since I have never even gotten a second internal server to connect to the world yet. Good luck, and great idea.


edit: oh, and access to the MySQL instance, also requiring a port fwd based on what's in your xml (3306)
