in vb 3.5, in the config, there is a secondary database option. What is this?

Master/Slave Servers for load balancing.
So there can be one Mastzer Server and several slave Servers (currently on ly 1 being supported).

Write Operations take place on the Master Server, while read Operations are being handled by the Slave Servers.

so would it be best to have a mysql DB created on a completely different webhost? or just creating a new DB, on same host, would be fine?

im kinda confused about it still.

its for seperate servers most likly on the same host. some forums run several servers. and this option will help them out

Its only useful in a true Master Slave replication setup. which means you have two mysql servers working as one (almost)
