Thank you for the expanation. It makes me think you wanted too much 
functionality whilst not being able to provide the basics. You are going to 
have a lot of troubles if you rely on client-side presentation only. There 
should be at least the option to have a clean server-provided presentation 
page. This has nothing to do with the database server setup. you can still 
have any db setup you like, with all the remote access and stuff. The 
webserver(s) naturally are separate machines. As a user i could care less 
how it works, if it works.

That does mean there will be an openly accessible API to the search server? 
In that case i might be wanting to write my own quick frontend on my own 
HTTP server, bypassing all the unnecessary stuff of wikia.
