You can't share an EQ db between servers. It's all one thing, and the names are part of the table structures.

It's not "all one thing". By default yes EQ Emulator runs on the same machine as the database. However, you can absolutely configure a separate DB server:
Code:
<database>
<host>localhost</host>
<port>3306</port>
<username>un</username>
<password>pw</password>
<db>peq</db>
</database>
Now of course the EQ Emulator software undoubtedly isn't designed to check a separate server
out of the box, but again technically there is absolutely no reason why it can't: all it requires is a bit of custom code.
And again, writing custom code to check a database on another server isn't just "not hard" it's "standard operating procedure". The staff here has made massive custom changes to the default EQ Emulator software; I just can't imagine it would be very difficult for them to tweak the software so that the name checking parts use a different DB than the rest.
