This way apache only have to connect to one database.
There may be all sorts of reasons you don't want to do this - and from a
design point of view
it's a bit messy - but it would solve your issue.
True, that would work, but after a schema reaches a certain number of tables
things do start to degrade.
Namespaces are a good way of providing virtualization here. PostgreSQL
supports them and I think Oracle probably does also. Use a PerlAuthzHandler
to set the database connection namespace to $r->server_name or some
derivation thereof and you can code for one virtual just as easily as for
many in your response handlers.
