Apache doesn't talk to the mysql server... the programming language you use does. PHP and others should be able to get to the sql box via name/ip, port number, and username/password info.

when using php, you tell it the ip address of the mysql server, so its simple. Its in any explination of how to make a php and mysql based page. (normally the ip is 127.0.0.1, but for you its the location of the mysql box)
