try changing the "include config.php" bit (change config.php to ur configuration file) to http://your.address.here/your_board/config.php
i havent ever done it, but it should work.
Unfortunatly it won't, because the server on which config.php resides will try to parse the PHP file and send it's output rather than it's contents.
or, you could externally connect to the sql database, but i dunno how; sorry. try the MySQL homepage; www.mysql.org
Yes, that would work. Edit config (or is it config_global) and change the mysql server value to be the IP/host of your server, rather than "localhost".
To be perfectly honest I don't know why you would want to host the same forum accross two different servers. The largest IBF-based forum on the internet (neowin) runs OK on one server. If your server is struggling, I suggest you upgrade it. Sending all mysql requests to another server accross the internet will most likely cause more performance problems than it would solve.
