MYSQL Domain ?

[Rob <bubaphex@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hey there,

wondering if some one could point me on the right direction. I have no idea what its actually called but i want to asign my MYSQL to a domain name. 

So instead of using local host they can use mysql.domainname.com 

Basically want this to make my database accessible to our other servers which are hosted at all diffrent places around the world.

Could any one give me a brief idea on how this is done ? and the pro's and cons of it. 

I did trying searching for it but seams i dont actually know whats its properly called i came up with very little. I thinking this is done in apache ? im just guessing here

thanks,

rob
