Hi,

I think a better approach would be using something like sql-relay (SQL Relay is a persistent database connection pooling, proxying and load balancing system for Unix and Linux.) instead of a DBI proxy server written in Perl.

This way your Linux boxes connect to the sql-relay server using one of the provided API's:

    * C
    * C++
    * Perl
    * Python
    * PHP
    * Ruby
    * Java
    * TCL
    * Zope

As you can see on the homepage sql-relay, it is ideal for: 

    * speeding up database-driven web-based applications
    * enhancing the scalability of database-driven web-based applications
    * distributing access to replicated databases
    * throttling database access
    * accessing databases from unsupported platforms
    * migrating applications from one database to another

In my opinion, that would be a better solution, and a stronger one too.
