    How do we spread server load across several dedicated servers? Also is it possible I use one server for mysql and one server for everything else?

    use a hardware load balancer, it works great for me. I have 2 servers and then a mysql database server.

    Bare in mind that if moving MySQL to another server you should ALWAYS keep them on the same network - otherwise latency would kill your sites.
