[Typo3] Seperate BE database connection

Hi Michael,

Sorry, late answer. Was not in the loop for a while. Also, sorry again for 
the seemingly rude response last time. However, if you would have given me 
some reasons why this would not be so secure or pointed me towards any 
resource, it would have been much more helpful to me.

A bit more (useless?) background:
Many times while presenting a solution to the client we have to conform with 
the clients' existing overall security policies. These policies may or may 
not make sense in our context. But we have to implement them nevertheless 
(the price of coexisting in a heterogenous environment I guess ;-)) The 
solution of keeping the FE and BE access seperate (and on different physical 
servers) was one of such requirements of the client. This was also 
compounded by the fact that the client used to have Interwoven as their 
earlier CMS and seemingly it does have such a 'feature'. Not finding 
anything concrete/relevant in the documentation and the previous posts, I 
finally approached the list. When I finally hit upon the idea of having the 
same MySQL login but from different IPs, I posted the same as an answer to 
my own post. However, I would very much like to hear about the potential 
pitfalls of this approach. It will help us in explaining the same and 
educating the client/s in the future. :-)

Warm Regards,
Suman Debnath
