Kinnie,
Hear the comments but the plugin will most likely not support seperate databases until Joomla's new DB code handles multiple databases (J 1.1, 1.2, or 1.3... can't remember)... otherwise we would recode for additional databases now and later.
Then the code would need to be refactored to account for moving data between seperate databases and querying 2 databases then manually comparing data versus having MySql do the work, i.e. import/export mainly... as those routines currently INNER JOIN tables between phpBB and CB which I am not sure how or if JOINing tables across databases works... Again without joining tables the data needs to be read in and manually processed/joined.
While this is perfectly doable... I think there are other fixes/features on the list ahead of it... especially since Joomla's new DB stuff should help out... once developed and deployed.
Feel free to log it as a feture request on our tracker if you desire. But for the immediate future it will need to be in the same database and in the same domain...
