I am developing a way not only to manage a database connection pools but
also handle remote database connections eventually over VPN supporting
compression and encription, with query caching support among other things.
This would work based only on PHP code.

I am facing a few technical challenges like the lack of multi-threading
support (to handle multiple simultaneous connections) in PHP (unlike Java
and Perl) and a ability that is still being added to PHP that is of making
PHP act as a standalone deamon reachable by Unix domain or TCP socket.

I am very busy with other prioritary things but that's the way to go. This
will be done as soon as I get more free time apart my real day job. Anyway, this
will be part of Metabase, a full blown PHP database abstraction package
available here.

Anyway, since you are with a certain hurry, you might be interested in this
SQL relay package that has similar goals although fully written in C++ for
Unix, but it doesn't seem to be available in PHP yet.

While you are at the money, you may want to sponsor the author so he can
give some priority to support PHP. Look here for the details.
