I run SCO Unix and Linux here. We have web Apache web servers here using PHP and perl, each accessing MySql. The reason I said "assuming your webserver supports MySQL" is because I have no experience running win2000 web servers, but see that many who post here do. I thought from your statement that you are already running a webserver, that you wanted to move the MySQL off of the win2000, and replace it with a connection to the FreeBSD MySQL server. This would be easy. Apparently, though you are not currently using MySQL with your web server. I will have to leave you in the hands of Windows experts here, as I don't run win2000.
