 I agree. 30 accounts is not much. Now to say that it's not enough for you
to deploy a scalable (and very secure) solution that would solve your
problem(s), I disagree. I wrote a doc explaining how to install MySQL step
by step. If you keep your installation current and up-to-date, you should be
ok when it comes to security.

 I basically suggest you give it a shot. After all, it does solve your
problem.
