hehe...well it _is_ MS i guess ;-) but it all depends on what you are doing
and storing.
database contention is not nice....

if the connection info stored in this database points to different servers
then i'd say you'd have to add them to the FreeTDS conf/interfaces file.
I'm only going on my Sybase experience here and if you are using OpenClient
to connect to a server then it needs to read the info from the interfaces
file. If the info isn't there you get a Sybase error:

Open Client Message
Layer 5, Origin 3, Severity 5, Number 4
OS Error: TLI rcvconnect call failed - t_errno 9
ct_connect(): network packet layer: internal net library error: Net-Lib
protocol driver call to connect two endpoints failed

Basically this means that it couldn't connect to the server.
I'll have a think on some possible workarounds.

What a novel idea! ;-)

No, different servers. One huge server isn't big enough, and anyway,
that creates a single point of failure for multiple databases. I'd
never want to do that for mission critical stuff.
