We haven't tested BaseTen with PDO and I hardly have any experience  
with it. There could be some speed issues if BXDatabaseObjects are  
instantiated on the server. Their database context reference should  
probably be changed to a DO proxy or another layer of caching should  
be added, but both would require some extra code.

Would it be possible to make the database server available only over  
VPN? We use that kind of an arrangement.
