In the PHP code do I have to actually know where the databases are located or is that the function of some kind of stub database? In an ideal world the stub database file would contain a xapian db segment name and a host address and port where the actual segment resides.


Michael, you should check out:

 * http://xapian.org/docs/remote.html (remote backend documentation)
 * http://xapian.org/docs/overview.html#specifying-a-database (talks about stub databases, which you'll want to use with the remote backend)

We don't have a topic doc or HOWTO on this as far as I'm aware, which we probably should have. I've added it to the missing documentation list, so at least it's captured.
