This is in fact what I have done on my MySQL account to make db's  
accessible from outside my on-rev domain. Beyond that, the advice from  
Sarah, Andre, Kay, and Jim is valuable with regard to security issues.

BTW, it's not obvious from the on-rev CPanel where to make the change  
to the allowed hosts. Under Databases click Remote MySQL. There you  
can add specific allowed IP addresses, DNS names, or the '%' wildcard.
