Multi server and remote mysql, how to set config.php and other configuration?

[basketmen]

I have two servers

- one local server in my country server1.domain.com, ip lets say 111.111.11.111, contained the files and mysql
- one in US server2.domain.com, ip lets say 222.222.222.222, contained only files, i planning the mysql remote to first server above

in includes/config.php i already changed

$config['MasterServer']['servername'] = 'localhost';

to be server1 ip

$config['MasterServer']['servername'] = '111.111.11.111';

i already try too

$config['MasterServer']['servername'] = 'server1.domain.com';

but the forum in server2 still cannot opened 111.111.11.111/~username, its only loading or cannot opened/time out, the forum in server1 is still normal can opened 222.222.222.222/~username

Nb 1. in server1's "Remote Database Access Hosts" in cpanel i already add server2's ip or server2.domain.com, that are able to access database

Nb 2. i already try before add the mysql in server2.domain.com too, and using localhost, the forum running normal in server2, so the problem now i want to connect it to server1.domain.com mysql with remote

please help guys what i am missed or how to make mysql working using remote in two server2

Usually this works best if there is a direct connection between the two servers (a GigE cable). You may have issues using a mysql server in a totally different location like you are talking about doing. If your site has traffic, I have a feeling you are going to cause problems by trying to do what you are doing.

i have seen some people/forum can using two server in different place but i am forget where is it, how they can do that, for example first server in europe (for files and mysql) and second server is us (for files only), so us server using remote mysql to europe server (so different place), is it possible guys?
