Is this the same database engine or different databases engines?.
(ie talking to the same database back end or having to talk to multiple
database backends).  Or is it simply having the same database engine but
multiple databases in there?.  Supporting muiltple database engines will
break the current design and API a lot and would require a lot of work. 
CORBA
can give a lot of flexiablity of distrubting the app over serveral
servers.

I'm starting to form an idea of how to do it. But this is stuff that
won't
be in till at least v0.2 i'd say, unless someone else wants to do it
which i really would appreciate.
