    Like splitting it up into a web server and database server?

    You're not giving much to go on here.

    I guess in theory you can do anything.

    If you only have two servers then you could split them into an app server and a db server. Generally speaking, to do any kind of load balancing you'd need (or want, anyway) at least three servers.

    Maybe more explanation regarding the hurdle you are trying to overcome would help us help you find a solution.

    you'd need at least 3 servers, typically one large for mysql, two smaller for http.
    You need a filer or NFS to store the upload dirs, and a load balancer in front of the HTTPs.
    If you want 100% redundant setup, you'll need 4 servers at least, with a mysql master/slave configuration.
