RE: MYSQL Domain ?

["Doug Harvey" <ohgoodiee@xxxxxxxxx>]

Rob. I would think that you would want to use a port number instead of a domain name.  I think the port number is 3310, so you would have someone connect by going to: domainname.com:3310

Subject: MYSQL Domain ?

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
