I'm not talking about a dedicated database server, but a dedicated *query* server where the only thing done on that server is handling queries, allowing maximum processor capacity to be dedicated to it.

So let's see... my idea is a duplicate of the toolserver, and we want a public query service, but it would prove too tempting for people to use

Does this *have* to be on the toolserver, or can we take the databases

put it on its own server dedicated for querying? Maybe we could have a

*multi-server* layout featuring a distributed computing scheme.
We do have dedicated database servers. The toolserver is not one server.
