We generally put those clients on a VPS and allow them free reign. In this case we cannot, they are on a shared host server. Opening our PIX to allow connections through to MySQL, and relying on MySQL security to be the sole protection, is not something I or my Network administrator is comfortable with. Has anyone setup two instances of MySQL on the same server? One running just a client's DBs? Any advice would be helpful.
