I developed a corresponding sync. tool and a search engine (already public)
which works fine :-).
Hope the sync. tool will be public soon.

Our Maintenance class includes a --wiki param which accepts something like
--wiki=thedb or --wiki=thedb-theprefix and sets MW_DB and MW_PREFIX
constants you can use in your LocalSettings.

Though I could have sworn rather than that we had a proper wiki setting that
set a variable with a wiki id the LocalSettings could use in the cli in
place of the domain testing you have for web requests.
