If world and db server are on the same first machine, change the IPs in the script that launches the second machine's zones to point to the first machine.

Not sure if it works with windoze, but you might want to share your EQMu drive, so that updates are automatic

First you'll need to add user access like you did in mysql
grant all privileges on * to MySQLuser@localhost identified by 'MySQLpass' with grant option;
for example:
grant all privileges on * to MySQLuser@'NewMachineIP1' identified by 'MySQLpass' with grant option;
grant all privileges on * to MySQLuser@'NewMachineIP2' identified by 'MySQLpass' with grant option;
etc etc for each of the other machines.

Second, I verified you can just share your EQEmu directory in windows, because db.ini would not be overwritten it would contain the same data no matter what machine your on.

Good luck and let us know how using multiple machines work, I have 6 at home on the local network would be a blast to remove some of the CPU utilization to other non-load bearing systems.
