Why not just create two connection objects within your language of choice? Assuming that your current MySQL server has its own IP address, you can use an ODBC connection, via the IP, and connect to the same MySQL db from virtually anywhere. From an efficiency standpoint, you're much better off creating two connections rather than having two simulatneous servers.
