I\'m interested in creating an externally accessed connection pool that I can use with PHP. My question is two-fold: 1. I\'m under the assumption that PHP can exacute external deamons running on the same box, if Apache\'s user has the correct permissions. Am I correct? 2. Is there any info out in www-land about the internals of the mysql link resource used by PHP? Sorry if this is a newb type question, but I haven\'t had much luck looking this up.
