No. I was saying that I can understand why you want to distribute some 
tables onto different servers, but I see no point in distributing ALL 
tables.

Even in multi-site environments I have no more than 100 TS templates 
which doesn't call for a split. OTOH, there are good reasons to have a 
separate DB for tt_content and logs.

But I think I'd try to think of a clever way to share and sync specific 
configuration data (like TS templates) rather than try some magic with 
different DBs with a shared UID space.
