Are there any FAQs on how to spread server load by separating out database and GMail onto different servers? Would be interested to learn how this is set up.

Hi,
No, but it's pretty straight forward:
1. Disable the site.
2. Copy your existing database to the new server (if they are the same mysql, and same type of server, you can simply copy the files in the mysql data directory)
3. Goto Setup->SQL Server, and change the hostname (you may need to change the username/password as well).
4. Enable the site.
That's it!
Cheers,
Alex

If you're on a shared hosting plan then they are most likely on a different server already. Many hosting providers use an unique servers for applications such as a database server. Check what the host name given to you resolves to.
