How many hits now? Only the busiest of sites should ever need this sort
of set up. You will probably get much more benefit from profiling the co=
de
in some way and finding where your bottleneck queries are. Is the site
slow due to the number of simultaneous requests, or is the site just slow=
?

If you do want to split the load, then the easiest way of doing this is t=
o
use one server as the web server and make it talk SQL to the other one,
which will handle the database:
