[dba-SQLServer] Schemas for separation of clients?

[Dan Waters]

I just saw this link which discusses connecting to an AWS server using something called 'Route 53'.  I don't know enough to know if this is helpful though ...

I am actually talking about other databases, not the "database from hell".

I have been following your AWS thread with interest.  How do you get the public IP address?  I would think that would make the speeds much better than trying to tunnel in using Hamachi.  How do you deal with security / hack attempts?  Having that public facing IP has always put me off.

But it does work. In order to do it however I set up a single user / password out in SQL Server, then come into the VM using Hamachi.  I think that Hamachi is one of the causes of the slowness, though since that is the only way in for me, it is tough to know exactly.
