Scaling phpBB?

I'm looking to scale an existing phpBB installation by separating the read queries from the write queries to two separate, replicated MySQL servers. Anyone succeeded in doing this, specifically with phpBB?

The biggest concern I have so far is that it seems like the queries are scattered haphazardly throughout the code. I'd love to hear if anyone else did this, and if so, how it went / what was the process.

You could try MySQL Proxy which would be an easy way to split the queries without changing the application.

Just add more RAM. Enough RAM to hold the entire database. You'll be surprised how fast your inefficient script will fly. Memory forgives a lot of database scaling mistakes.
