Hello,

Might be tricky since all config files are stored locally. You could use rsync and/or a script to copy the configs to anothe machine.. but would take quite a bit of work to keep it syncronized and to get it working correctly.

is it possible that a few web servers access 1 mysql server ?

Yes, if you configure mysql to accept non localhost conenctions.

You'd just have to set "host=server.hostname.com" in the /usr/local/directadmin/conf/mysql.conf file.

The next release should automatically add the hostname of the accessing server to the mysql server (instead of localhost) if the "host" value is set.
