   Hello!
   I have WPMU installed at server1. Also, I have 50+ blogs at server2 at another host. I want to be able t control my 50+ blogs using WPMU installed at different host than the blogs are.
   How is this possible?
   Thanks in advance

   It's not. All blogs hosted by WPMU are on the same server. The database can be on a different server, but the code is all in one spot.

   You can have multiple databases in mu...

   each blog has wp_BLOGDID#_tablename.
   There are global tables to keep track of the blogs.

   No, you don't "hook them up" via the config file.

   At some point, those other blogs have to be part of the same install, somehow.

   As an aside, if you're not going to import those 50 blogs into your new WPMU (subdomains), there's a shell script that can upgrade your 50 WP blogs via SVN in prob less than 3 minutes called WP Mass Upgrade. It works in conjunction with WP-Create script; maybe you can ask developer how to incorporate to your installations.

   I would like to create a website which will contain links to specific blogs which may be hosted elsewhere (I will add links myself after confirming they are relevant).

   I thought WPMU may be the solution until I saw the above posts. So it is not possible to add external blogs, period? Or is it not possible to allow users registered on WPMU to comment on them, etc?

   Any help would be appreciated!

   So you're just linking to other blogs? like this?

   I don't see your page linking to any other blogs other than the blogroll at the bottom.

   To be honest, what I'm looking for is a glorified blogroll. The WPMU interface looks like it would work very well. I want to list various blogs that are hosted externally on the homepage if possible, but the main idea is to list a number of blogs under various categories.

   Now that I have found WPMU, I am also considering hosting blogs for people who may not be able to do so themselves, but the idea is to begin by linking to external blogs.

   External blog snot in MU woudl be handled by the blogroll. It's pretty easy to get those results just on a page. Nothing mu-specific about that, just general WP.

   To list blogs within the system:
