Hello All.  I have some questions / requests for advice that I hope some of you
could help me with.

I have alot of virtual domains that I want to provide MySQL access to.  These 
virtual domains are spread out across several servers right now and continue
to grow.  On each of these servers I currently run a mission critical database
that cannot be jeopardized in any way.  When I say jeopardized, I do not mean
security, I mean that I don't want to risk losing connectivity with that 
database because of heavy user access to their databases.

Now to the nitty gritty.  I have two options here on how to setup access for 
these users:

1.  Set up a dedicated server for all users to have their individual databases
    run off of.

2.  Have each user's database run off of the server that they are located on.

    If I do it this way, I would like a seperate mysql server to use a 
    different port than the one the mission critical db uses.  I have tried
    this before per the docs, but had no luck with it.

    I would also like to be able to store the user's database inside of their
    home directory instead of say /usr/local/mysql/var/.....  I am also 
    unclear as to how and make that happen.

Option #1 seems relatively straight forward.  However Option #2 is my preferred
method so I don't have to shell out the extra bucks for another server.  If anyone 
could provide some advise on how to make this work, I would greatly appreciate it.  
If I am totally off my rocker here, I would also greatly appreciate if you would
let me know :)

Thanks to everyone in advance.

Jeff Jones
