I'm just a lurker here, so I don't know if the toolserver machine is running a recent enough MySQL, but there is a table type called the "federated" table, see http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.0/en/federated-use.html

For the most part, this makes it possible to use a remote table that you have access to in SQL commands in the same way one might normally use a local one.

you'd be able to do that, no, not without a lot of manual work.
