[Opensim-users] Multiples of Diva's Megaregion Server

[diva at metaverseink.com]

Great question! I didn't want to go there right now, because hybrid 
architectures will be much easier to set up once all services are 
running on the new connectors. However... let me explain very briefly 
the main idea. I'll write something up as way of a blog post with more 
details later today, ok?

In principle, you can stitch several standalones together to form a 
larger world. The trick is to use the same MySql DB for all of them. 
Having a MySql server  as the backend has this tremendous advantage that 
the DB can be naturally shared among several machines. So set one of the 
machines as the MySQL server, make the opensim account on it be 
accessible from other machines, and carefully place the regions so that 
they are adjacent.

:-)
I'll write up the details later.
