Something that has probably already been pointed out several times, yet I can't see a thread discussing it.

If Day Z continues to grow as it seems obvious it will, then sooner or later the demands of so many requests on a single database will cause problems?

It also seems to me like this is a massive single point of fail.

Why not seperate the servers into different domains, as was suggested in the link above? This should surely improve performance across the board?

I will admit that this is really easy to talk about and not so easily implemented, but perhaps worth discussing before it becomes a critical problem?

I believe rocket has plans for "local nodes" where each server has a mysql database running where it saves and gets the data, and in intervals it gets/saves to the central database.

Which would improve performance quite a bit i believe.

This could assist in slowing server hopping for those chasing the day time.
